Not many of us can imagine buying a child slave for almost $500 and having him work hard on our garden for the rest of his life without any entitlement to wage. However, all of us finance this business.
In two previous articles I have described negative impacts of prolonged food production chain on its quality and health safety.
It comes quite logical given the fact that the ingredients are grown on the other side of the planet, bought, modified and resold many times in the process. There is no guarantee that the food we eat is not artificially adjusted.
There is only one thing sure and it is that everybody who bought, modified and sold onwards such ingredient did in order to make money for living. Profit was his only interest.
Roughly from about the time of the World War II, the whole food industry took the road of substitutes, artificial adjustments and dilution. Maximum profit can be always found on the very edge of production, health and ethical regulations.
So it happen, that sweet chocolate bars, that make children smile in advertisements, can consequently come from chocolate that is harvested by enslaved kids kidnapped from their families. Brutal practices on the plantation of one Nestle contractor can be seen in this document from YouTube.
Nestle is currently the biggest food corporation in the world worth roughly about $250 billions. As well as biochemical giant Monsanto, Nestle is facing many accusations and scandals due to unethical behavior in hidden parts of its food production chain.
The biggest and most famous incident was about intensive propagation of substitute breast milk that led to deaths of infants in many countries.
