I saw this programme on the BBC the other night and found it pretty interesting, unfortunately I did not see it to the end, it was documenting how although Nestle and other chocolate producers claim to use fair trade sources, they have no idea who is farming the cocoa beans, often underage children. Human rights laws state that children under the age of sixteen should be free to study and not be forced to work.
I’d recommend the programme, it’s pretty hard hitting, so be warned!
