Unfortunately I wish that some due dilligence would have been done prior to accepting a trip from them. I will NOT be purchasing from Nestle until they change their practices. http://www.phdinparenting.com/2009/09/29/an-open-letter-to-the-attendees-of-the-nestle-family-blogger-event/ I look forward to your response.

Here is just one link that talks about it: http://www.organicconsumers.org/fair_trade/slavechocolate060414.cfm They signed an agreement to find a way to avoid buying from these plantations and buy "clean labor" chocolate by 1995. It is now *2009* and they haven't really made good on their promise. I think people should read this and think a little bit before they buy products from this company in order to send them a message that they need to stand behind their word. I DO hope you have fun at the headquarters however, I'm definitely not trying to say Nestle is evil or anything- I just think it is something to think about.

I've been without it for two weeks and finally broke down and bought some (on sale of course lol!) last night. Am enjoying my cup of coffee now....it's just not the same without it.
