Some people with more time on their hands than sense
(and a guilty conscience) claim, without evidence, that
the cocoa crop in West Africa is harvested using child
slave labor. It isn't.


There IS plenty of evidence proving it exists,

None. It doesn't exist. Their labor market doesn't
work as labor markets work in developed economies, but
there is no slavery. Indentured servitude and slavery
are not the same thing.
