The Real Cost of Chocolate

The Real Cost of Chocolate

The average American eats nearly 20 pounds of chocolate per year, with the broader population combined consuming over 8 million tons annually. Yet many consumers are still unaware of the continued abuse of children involved in Cacao harvesting. Today there are over 1.5 million children aged between 9–17 forcefully engaging in life-threatening harvesting activities due to low farmer wages. With Cacao farmers earning less than $1 per day in an industry worth a staggering $130 billion dollars, it’s clear the production system is set up to prioritize profit over ethics. This campaign aims to educate consumers in making purchases that hold corporations accountable for their production practices and spread awareness for legislative reform.
