| 0:00 | There are over 1.5 million kids in child |
| 0:02 | labor, so you can eat cheap chocolate. |
| 0:04 | You see, big chocolate pays their |
| 0:05 | farmers so little that they make less |
| 0:07 | than a dollar a day on average. And as a |
| 0:09 | result, 45% of children in Coco |
| 0:11 | communities work in illegal child labor. |
| 0:13 | And I want to tell you three things that |
| 0:15 | Beastables is doing to get these kids |
| 0:16 | out of childhood. First, we pay 100% of |
| 0:19 | our cacao farmers a living income |
| 0:20 | reference prize. It's a benchmark set by |
| 0:22 | Fair Trade to ensure farmers earn enough |
| 0:23 | where they can afford housing, food, and |
| 0:25 | other basic necessities. Second, 100% of |
| 0:27 | our cacao is fair trade certified, which |
| 0:29 | is the gold standard for ethical |
| 0:31 | certification. They have rigorous |
| 0:33 | standards that protects the livelihoods |
| 0:34 | of small farmers and farm workers. And |
| 0:36 | third, the farms feast schools work with |
| 0:38 | are actively implementing child labor |
| 0:40 | monitoring and remediation systems so |
| 0:41 | the kids can get off the farms and into |
| 0:43 | school. So the next time you're in an |
| 0:45 | American chocolate aisle, you have a |
| 0:47 | decision to make. Support the status quo |
| 0:49 | or you can eat feastables and say enough |
| 0:51 | is enough. You care how your chocolate |
| 0:53 | is sourced. |
