00:00There are over 1.5 million kids in child labor, so you can eat cheap chocolate.
00:04You see, Big Chocolate pays their farmers so little that they make less than a dollar a day on average.
00:09And as a result, 45% of children in Cocoa communities work in illegal child labor.
00:13And I want to tell you three things that Feastables is doing to get these kids out of child labor.
00:17First, we pay 100% of our cacao farmers a living income reference price,
00:21which is a benchmark set by Fairtrade to ensure farmers earn enough where they can afford housing, food, and other basic necessities.
00:26Second, 100% of our cacao is Fairtrade certified, which is the gold standard for ethical certification.
00:32They have rigorous standards that protect the livelihoods of small farmers and farm workers.
00:36And third, the farms Feastables work with are actively implementing child labor monitoring and remediation systems
00:41so the kids can get off the farms and into school.
00:43So the next time you're in an American chocolate aisle, you have a decision to make.
00:47Support the status quo, or you can eat Feastables and say enough is enough.
00:52You care how your chocolate is sourced.
