-------- is a global, multinational company with one specific goal: to provide cheap, delicious, quality chocolate to as many people as possible. It seems that -------- upper management has determined that the best way to cut overall production costs is to send work overseas to third world countries, where children (many under 10 years of age), are used in their manufacturing locations.

It just tastes good. It gratified the consumer. Naturally, other businessmen took note, and other companies provide competition" (Off 51).

These corporations ignored human rights or the labor rights in U.S: In order to make the production input cheaper, they outsource and underpaid the factories and workers in Africa.
