- Cow's milk naturally contains an addictive opiate (similar
to morphine) called casomorphin, and that is not a joke.
-
- For many children, the consumption of milk and dairy
opiates translates into attention deficit disorder, and that too is no
joke.
-
- Four pounds of milk are required to manufacture one pound
of milk-chocolate, and for vegan milk-chocolate addicts, that is not a
joke.
-
- Most of the chocolate eaten in America comes from beans
grown in Ivory Coast, where children are kidnapped from neighboring countries
to live in slavery on abusive plantations, and that is also no joke.
-
- If you support the chocolate industry by eating their
product, you have complicity in the most immoral and unethical crime of
the twenty-first century, and you area a part of the problem, and that
is no joke either.
-
- When it comes to the ethics of slavery and chocolate,
Hersehy's and Nestles Chocolate Company's position is that Ivory Coast
is a sovereign nation, and they will continue to buy their chocolate because
they do not want to do damage to Ivory Coast's economic system.
-
- Men and women of conscience must be one on this issue.
An economic system based upon child slavery is not worth saving.
-
- On today's very special eve in which "Peace on Earth
and Good Will to Men" reverberates, take a moment to consider that
little boy or girl who cries in despair and torment in a world that makes
no sense. Consider that child the next time you are tempted to purchase
milk chocolate products.
-
- Unless the label on a chocolate product informs you that
the contents are grown elsewhere, assume that each bite supports slavery.

- A man named Che once wrote:
-
- "If you tremble with indignation at every injustice,
then you are a comrade of mine."
-
- Please do the right thing, and become part of the solution.
