...and somewhere the ghost of Ayn Rand smiles
Just as how I won't go to a Union 76 station ever again -- for a very good reason -- I won't buy any mass-marketed chocolate ever again (specifically made by Nestle, Cargill or ADM) for another damn good reason.
I'm glad to see lawsuits like this cropping up: where the government sponsors some legislation outlining steps for companies to be in compliance with some social good (e.g. a basic standard of human rights, e.g. NO FUCKING CHILD SLAVERY), and the legal system picks up the slack as an enforcement mechanism, because it's for damn sure the governmental crowd likes its child labor just fine as long as the dividend checks keep rolling in.
70% of the world's chocolate comes from the Ivory Coast.
ADM, by the way, has a nasty history of nefarious dealings and being a less-than-model corporate citizen. Its slogan ("supermarket to the world") isn't mere marketing hyperbole: like almost no other company, ADM has the power to corner the world market on a number of different crops and staples. In fact, it was busted for price-fixing a few years back; it was chonicled in this really excellent This American Life show.
So yeah -- it'll be free-trade yuppie hippie Whole Foods $10 chocolate from now on.
