A lot of cocoa farmers have never tasted chocolate, so it tracks that in the terminal capitalism of the Galactic Empire, moisture farmers wouldn’t have access to moisture.
On my life I didn’t click the link but I know it’s that John Oliver episode and I’m scared to watch it because I love chocolate. I know that’s selfish but I don’t have a lot of just for me things I enjoy and I’m loathe to take one away.
I told my wife and daughter today that I wouldn’t be eating chocolate anymore and when I asked why, I said, “I’ll tell you, but only if you want me to ruin chocolate for you forever.” They opted not to know.
That’s almost literally everything we consume in modern society. It all has costs that hurt someone along the way. Exploitation is a part of capitalism. Only you can draw your line in the sand.
