#30Seconds Live: Tony's Chocolonely Socially Responsible Chocolate Helps Stop Child Labor & Human Trafficking by Chef Gigi

As parents, we need to think about many things. And some things we need to think about, well, let’s face it, we wish they didn't exist. One of them is child slavery and human trafficking in the chocolate industry. We all indulge, and we share our chocolate indulgence with our children from time to time, so I believe this is a subject we should pay a little closer attention to.

The chocolate industry and child labor is synonymous – and dynamically running out if control. Here is something we can do to help: support Tony's Chocolonely, a Dutch confectionery company "focused on producing and selling chocolate closely following fair trade practices, strongly opposing slavery and child labor by partnering with trading companies in Ghana and Ivory Coast to buy cocoa beans directly from the farmers, providing them with a fair price for their product and combating exploitation."

Friends, it takes a village. Think about this next time you snap a piece off your favorite bar. Let’s help bring chocolate to the level it should be … clean from child labor!

Purchase your socially responsible chocolate and help Tony’s Chocolonely banish child slave labor in the chocolate industry. Tony's Chocolonely is "crazy about chocolate, serious about people."
