FWIW Hershey was also accused of child labor/slavery alongside Nestle, but you're right and I fumbled that one at the 95-yard-line.

Right. And that would be fumbling at the "5" yard line but the opponent touched and miraculously tipped the ball back to you, and you recovered and still made your points (puns intended).

there's no "the" 5 yard line, there's your 5 yard line and their 5 yard line, and there's 90 yard lines in between them.

oh gosh! I use to purchase hershey because i thought nestle bad others good :(

Is there any list of ethically sourced chocolate brands? The world is becoming stupid place to live with all these monopolies :(

When you dig deep enough into how manufacturing really works, there are few products, especially consumables, that are ethically sourced.

There has to be outliers worth avoiding.

Not when the countries that all the cocoa trees are in are known to have not so accountable governments.

Same with mining for materials for electronics, as well as refining and manufacturing of them effectively happening in one country.

The show The Good Place explores this idea; it's impossible to live a good life because everything in the supply chain eventually has some bad aspect to it.
