    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.

      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.

            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.
