Chocolate - The Bitter Truth

[Jax]

Panorama - Chocolate - The Bitter Truth tonight on BBC 1 at 9pm all about trafficking!

UK consumes half a million tonnes of chocolate!

If you want to know more about Trafficking check out Stop the Traffick charity.

it was a very interesting program.

Perhaps those viewers will think twice before picking up their kitkat or twix from now on...

glad I shun commercial choc nowadays

I think the worse thing I saw was they are covering it up so much!!!

My youngest lad is in a play called One Million to Stop the Traffick (http://www.facebook.com/loakley?v=feed&story_fbid=381706222014#%21/pages/One-Million-to-STOP-THE-TRAFFIK-by-Mark-Wheeller/285689902664?ref=sgm) which has been comissioned by the charity of the same name (http://www.facebook.com/loakley?v=feed&story_fbid=381706222014#%21/group.php?gid=2345448641). They have a very powerful paly about human trafficking which has taught them a lot about it, so that has changed the youngsters' views on commercial chocolate and are now choosing Fair Trade products. They were in a drama festival with it last night and were pleased to pick up a couple of trophies but said the biggest prize was raising the awareness...............I was proud of the lot of them ;) :victory:
