Fair trade and slavery. These are honestly not issues I know very much about. That's why I've been excited to write this particular post for a while now. My interest was piqued while working at a booth for the International Development Minor earlier this semester at BYU. We happened to be set up next to the booth for BYU's chapter of Free the Slaves. They were passing out flyers with the words "Got chocolate?" printed across an image of a delicious looking truffle. At the bottom was a statistic that cited some astronomical number of people in slavery to feed the world's demand for chocolate. Slavery. If that doesn't make you think about the impact of your food choices, I don't know what will.
Victoria and the letter-writing.
(Stay tuned for updates and revisions.)
