Chocolate and slave trade?

Just found this blog, Ethur, through Relevant magazine. Pretty sweet blog... one of the Ehur projects is the Junky Car Club... which Kevin and I could totally belong to right now! It's a car club devoted to living with less so that we can give more. Our membership would be unintentional due to our changing circumstances... so we might as well make it official and for a good cause. The blog also had a post about slavery and chocolate... some documentary that explains the issue. Not too good for any Nestle product!

This guy prosecuted himself for supporting slave trade through his consumer choices. I can't believe it. See the trailer to hear what the Supreme Court thought.
