How Ethical Is Your Chocolate?
Manage episode 353343222 series 3289644
Ah, chocolate. While those decadent brown rectangles enjoy near-universal consumer love, the reality is far less sweet: Chocolate is one of the most unethical and unsustainable foods we eat.
We can continue to enjoy chocolate by purchasing smarter. Today's show is Part 1 in a 2-part series about chocolate, and today - just in time for Valentine's Day! - we unearth the ethical and environmental implications associated with harvesting cacao on the global scale (I've also included 7 tips for being a conscious chocolate consumer, too).
Here's a preview:
[4:00] Machetes, pesticides, and kids: Child labor and slavery in the cacao industry
[11:00] The environmental problems associated with monocultures
[16:00] Some good news: 5 promising updates from the cacao industry
[17:30] How to enjoy chocolate by purchasing with intention: 7 ideas
