CBS News found children in Ghana as young as 5 years old using machetes nearly as big as themselves to harvest the cocoa beans that end up in some of America's most-loved chocolates like M&Ms and Snickers. Debora Patta reports.
Sugar was a primary crop on Maui, Hawaii until several years ago when Californian real estate investors started bitching about the controlled fires raining ash on their new condos that they built in the path of the wind. They lobbied the local government to shut down the entire industry, put all those people out of work, and leave the central valley susceptible to UNcontrolled fires.
Now the island is brown, not green. They destroyed what made it attrractive.
This is why real estate developers are just as evil as child slavers.
Can we grow sugar? Just curious
The US? We do grow sugar. But many farms in America hire child laborers. This isn’t solely a problem with imported agricultural goods.
