one less thing to rant about. . .

yes it's true; you won't suffer any longer, dear readers. the chocolate industry and the ivory coast have signed an agreement to work together to end the practice of child slave labor in the chocolate industry. the agreement actually covers the 5 main chocolate producers in west africa.

you can read the full text of the actual memorandum of cooperation here. as long as this agreement is actually put into effect and enforced, you're free! i won't mention it here ever again!

this is great news for me, because i was suffering a severe moral dilemma. my personal chocolate guru, jacques torres, creates delicious and complex bittersweet chocolate bars made from ivory coast chocolate. i was on the verge of switching chocolate permanently. but hallelujah! saved at the brink. . .

eat your valrhona, your callebaut, your jacques torres in peace.
