Please report on the environmental cost of French cheeses and wines.
Eff off guys. The world is going to hell. Give us some little ray of hope
its always the same answer which is this: The customer should ask before where the chocolate is coming from. That has NO impact on anything because we the "customers" are not the ones buying the cocoa beans from the farmers and dont say that it will impact the companies that make the chocolate bars because we all damn well know that the big companies lie and lobby against the average consumer. All these "regulations" do is tax the people that buy chocolate from the store while the companies take advantage of this so and lie about their prices to earn even more capital.
I would be more concerned with the impact of mega avocado orchards than chocolate.
We must ban all joyful events
Haha, those 3 pieces of advice he offers seem pretty incoherent and useless, don't they?
Fake cocoa is the future
