I wanted to thank you for this post. I was shocked to find out about Hershey’s. I quickly shared it with friends and on facebook. I recently found your blog and I’m looking forward to reading more.

Thanks for highlighting the importance of consumer choice in tackling some of the key issues in the cocoa industry. Small actions lead to big change, and consumers can help support cocoa farming communities and conserve the environment through their choice of chocolate.
Conscientious consumers can also look for the following chocolates that feature the Rainforest Alliance Certified green frog seal – an assurance that the cocoa was grown on farms that conserve the environment, protect the rights and well-being of farm workers and support local communities.
