Lol imagine being so fucked you think it is a good idea to utilize child labor and slavery just to deliver cheap chocolate candies to the market.
I can just see the conversations.
"Whatever it takes! We gotta maintain that price point or revenue will plummet Jeff! Yeah, yeah, do that, they don't have labor regulations there, yeah send the exports through them. Make it happen Jeff!"
We are all so easily blinded by our own little goals.
What’s crazy is some countries don’t accept the “USA” formula, full of HFCS and dyes. The UK has “clean” M&Ms from what I’ve been told. I pray all these companies slowly poisoning humanity will implode into nothing because people will see through the lies.
Kind of unrelated, but I've had to point out many times to others that if you're eating so much sugar that the type of sugar matters, you're eating way too much sugar.
Well and to add, it is basically a psyops to even eat fucking m&Ms and chocolate candies on general.
Not really giving a damn if people do or not but it's like these companies are useless vestigial organs on the world. Basically the way I look at it sometimes is what role do these things play in the world. If you could time machine back and end the existence of fucking M&Ms, does anything actually happen to the timeline?
You can't go back and kill your own grandfather, but I guarantee you could go back and prevent m&Ms from ever occuring and everything would be exactly the same, or maybe even better.
It's just useless. And to utilize any sort of additional resources, stress, or create even an ounce of harm as a means to make godamn candy is just nonsense.
But here we are. Candy. Using our attention and time, child labor, all the resources spent, for candy. Lol. It just baffles my mind.
I used to give my friend a few bags of M&Ms and a keepsake / collector M&M piece for his birthday. I even made a bowl with a velcro belt made for his belly. This bowl allowed him to eat M&Ms laying down... Fast forward 30 years, he is on dialysis at 53. His life would be much better if chocolate / M&Ms weren't in the world!
Yes, I agree that what they are doing is bad, however chocolate alone is natural from a tree and by itself is healthy, yet when they add the dyes and sugar they can make it addicting. There are fair trade companies and there is healthy chocolate. Just had to stand up for chocolate because I love eating chocolate and it alone did nothing wrong but grow on a tree.
I can't believe all of the ingredients in American food. Our GRAS (generally recognized as safe) allows a whole crap ton if ingredients into our food that are not safe.
I have chocolate running through my veins!
But it's a food group right? Right? How else am I supposed to rationalize my need for it?
If junk food is a food group. The sugars, dyes and chemicals added that are addictive
Cocoa nibs is the closest to natural you can get...had a small bag of them for a while and they don't taste great, really. Do you love that unrefined stuff or are you more a fan of dark chocolate / low milk & sugar kind? Because the cocoa bean is quite bitter and not that pleasant.
Dark Chocolate all the way. In fact, Dark chocolate has some health benefits. Catch is getting the Dark chocolate without all the additive BS in it. Caution: real dark chocolate CAN be on the bitter side, but you get used to it.
You mention Cocoa nibs. Never had'em. May have to go lookin'!!
I don’t like overly sweet and I’ve done some research and (This was a few yrs back) if I remember correctly, Seratonin That Chocolate naturally contains which is a mood booster which is one reason I like it.
I prefer 60-70% cocoa dark
Chocolate, especially organic dark chocolate is a perfectly healthy treat. It has TONS of magnesium and antioxidants.
And let me remind you that one of the longest lived humans, Jean Calmant who lived to be 122 years old, ate a KILOGRAM (2.2 pounds, for those of you in Loma Linda) of chocolate per week!
🍫🍫 🍫 FTW
M&Ms are a psyop?
Sigh.
They’re garbage but I mean….. a psyop?
Ah yes quantum entanglement is so fascinating. I agree though. When I did ayahuasca at 21, the experience was completely overwhelming because of how much stimuli was being experienced simultaneously. I was convinced my brain was trying to perceive multiple different universes simultaneously when my eyes were open, so it was much more comfortable to sit or lay down with my eyes closed so my brain could focus on one Astral projection at a time.
That shit was intense. Glorious. But intense.
I did it with 4 of my closest friends at the time in college. All of us were experienced in tripping lsd, shrooms and Molly at the festivals we would frequently go to together.
But none of us had any idea what we were actually getting into that day. Thank God we made sure we had baby sitters that day lol. I could write an entire book about my experiences during those 10 hours.
I actually broke down at one point as I watched the story of Adam and eve be shown to me in real time. What was exceptional about the version I witnessed though was that Adam knew perfectly well what the consequences for Eve eating the forbidden fruit were. And he wasn't deceived at all.
Rather, he cared about Eve so deeply that he knew he couldn't be happy alone in paradise while knowing she was suffering alone back on earth. So he ate from the fruit willingly and accepted his fate. For he'd rather live suffering with Eve than to allow her to have to suffer alone. It was such an emotionally moving story to see... and I'm usually very cold, logical and aloof to emotional things like that.
That was the last time I ever had any reservations about the existence of a creator. Definitely on my list of most impactful experiences of my life.
I don’t think you are to love anything or anyone more than God. There is a sacrificial story in the Bible, Abraham & Issac.
Adam sinned, but it was about eating the forbidden fruit. I wonder what God would have done if Adam made the faithful decision.
What a beautiful story. Poignant. Heart-wrenching.
It's up for debate how time travel works, I think it's just as plausible you create an alternate timeline as it is that you alter your own. Both might even happen simultaneously
Like, asking the waitress, did you say it was “breakfast at anytime?, “I’ll have an omelette during the renaissance.”
Yeah. Which is why I said its just as plausible that both happens. I do believe there is a "multiverse", or basically multiple parallel dimensions running simultaneously
So I believe that if we were actually capable of going back in time, it would just create multiple new timelines simultaneously. Perhaps thousands of new ones.
What???
Maybe I’m slow outta the gate on this one…M&Ms are made in China?
Statement from Hershey : https://www.thehersheycompany.com/content/dam/corporate-us/documents/pdf/HSY_Statement_Against_Human_Trafficking_and_Slavery.pdf?.html
I read through this quickly but I saw no statement saying that the minute they confirmed child slavery they stopped using that source. No, they go through the feel good routine of 'training' and 'utilizing do gooder organizations'...all the things that take ages to see any improvement but make it look like you're really trying. The statement also takes a lot of words to tell us how this isn't directly Hershey, but their sources who do this bad thing.
I get it. One looks to use the cheapest source of labor/materials they can. Smart financial move. But Hershey is very rich. If ending the offending source causes too much damage to the population they're already taking advantage of, then pay those sources a more sustainable income. Give the jobs to the parents, not the kids. Don't want to take the financial hit? Then raise the price you charge customers. Go ahead and double it. Triple it. M&Ms are NOT dietary staples. If only the wealthy can afford the crap...all the better.
M& M is the Mars family Corp. I have to check again but they didn't have a connection to Hershey unless they have bought each other or made deals in the last 5 years or so. I need to look again.
No they are separate companies and even sabotage one another at the merchandiser level, poaching employees and rushing into stores to kick the other out of retail space as early as July to prep for Halloween.
It’s the fault of companies like these that Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas “come too soon” in retail settings. Stores begrudgingly go along with it because putting that stuff out early does boost sales overall.
But 99% of retail managers hate it.
And does anyone have a source?
Hershey used to make the chocolate for M&Ms, so my mistake thinking they marketed the candy. But I feel like I'm having one of those Mandela Effects because I swear I recall going to Hershey Park in the 70s and seeing M&Ms being made in the factory tour. I guess it was their own version of M&Ms.
But for those 'sighing' about a source for the slavery claims, here is one...https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/12/mars-nestle-and-hershey-to-face-landmark-child-slavery-lawsuit-in-us
Thanks for the info.
The decoding symbols blog had a long article that included candy companies, and iirc, M&Ms were originally a joint collaboration between Mars and a (former?) Hershey exec whose last name also started with M. Later Mars bought out the other guy’s share and now Mars owns M&Ms outright, while Hershey competes by using Reece’s Pieces (which is another rabbit hole of Spielberg ET pedophilia)
Thanks. More to look into.
from Wikipedia: “The two 'M's represent the names of Forrest E. Mars Sr., the founder of Newark Company, and Bruce Murrie, son of Hershey Chocolate's president William F. R. Murrie, who had a 20 percent share in the product.”
On the decoding symbols homepage, the author warns in the description for the article Squid Game, Venus, Mars, E.T. that it’s very long. But here’s the part about M&Ms:
Thank you.
Sigh.
Wrong company.
I swear, some times….
And do we even have a source for this?
Sorry for my honest mistake. Here is a source, so you cease swearing and signing now. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/12/mars-nestle-and-hershey-to-face-landmark-child-slavery-lawsuit-in-us
This is the true end goal to capitalism though. Make the most profit possible, essentially any way possible without losing money in the process. It's always about quarterly profits and continuing to increase them. These companies are acting exactly how capitalism expects them to, and more money is power in our world.
That is so deplorable! I think this will snowball into an avalanche! What evil bastards!

Parasites LOOOVE SUGAR. Keep that in mind.
So does cancer
Ohhh yeah. God just gave me another respite there. I’d lost my voice and was convinced my throat cancer had come back? I just got throat scoped by a great ENT Dr…nope! Laryngitis only. Better than Christmas morning Fren 💥👍🏽
Fantastic news!!
Like being reborn 🎯 🎉
So what happened?
Is the green one supposed to be Gen. Milley?
Does God want us to support these Babylonian freeloaders?
Someone in the Twitter comments said the Ivory lawsuit that names the several chocolate companies was dismissed by the Supreme Court in 2021? We have a link for this?
I don't know. Maybe you can help me out and tell me what's 'woke' or funny about "Did my shoes really break the internet". I have no understanding of what this is supposed to mean, or how it's 'progressive'.
