Help a yoghurt knitting ethical buyer old hippy chocaholic please
Cadburys sold to Kraft foods, recipe changed and now its disgusting and no longer fair trade and despite assurances manufacturing has been moved out of the UK and Kraft is a rapacious unethical entity
Green and blacks are now part of the same group although the chocolate is still good who wants to support such an unethical firm
Rowntrees now belongs to Nestle - another company on the boycott list for unethical behaviour
Mars - another company with dubious ethics
Co op - chocolate is not great and now there is not a shop near me.
Lindt is over packaged. another no no
Help me please before I am reduced to eating organic freetrade hummus all the time and I will get so grumpy without my chocolate fix - you wouldn't want to see my patients suffer would you?
All the chocolate.
Chocolate knows no boundaries.
FFS
Just get on with it.
Make yer own, fussy knickers.
Hotel chocolate.
Willie's
I've had this whole 'ethical supply' problem for years with coke and hookers.
My base desires quickly overpower my conscience though, so... whatevs....
ramsbottom's very own [url= http://www.chocolate-cafe.co.uk/ ]Chocolate Cafe[/url] make their own, and have a very nice large selection to choose from...
just down the hill from chez binners too...
+1 Hotel Chocolat (no e on the end)
Ta chaps
edit:
trouble with that ethical stuff is its not available in my local shops. Bulk buying by mail order won't work - I have no self restraint. Interesting ratings tho
I think sulking may be the best idea
Kryton57:FFS
Just get on with it.
Kryton telling people to stop overthinking things?
Eat some deliciously ethical and healthy carob? mmmmmh
Perchy thanks for that. altho this post was not entirely serious thats a fine answer and one I will use. Even localish manufacturing.
Carob? its not chocolate Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
waitrose used to sell Willie's chocolate. Nice stuff.
Co-op chocolate is just fine, particularly the dark ones. Commonly available. Good price.
Unfortunately no co ops near me now. 🙁 Taken over by tescos
Perchy thanks for that. altho this post was not entirely serious thats a fine answer and one I will use. Even localish manufacturing.
Not only is the chocolate delicious, they also have an enormous plastic dinosaur in the outdoor play area. It's next to the maze and the pirate ship.
A quality product all round.
hasn't stopped every other yoghurt knitting ethical buyer old hippy trying to pass it off as such for EVER!Carob? its not chocolate Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Lindt chocolate in bars isn't over packaged? Usual foil and cardboard sleeve... my personal favourite:
[url= http://www.lindt.co.uk/shop/our-brands/excellence/excellence-orange-intense-100g ]It's certainly not Terry's[/url]
(no e on the end)
Chocolate is ammmaaaazing with though 😀
the carboard sleeve is the over packaging!
Hotel Choclat, always. I can't be trusted in that place.
Cadburys sold to Kraft foods, recipe changed and now its disgusting
I think that was only creme eggs where they did that. Normal Dairy Milk is the same.
Anyway - chocolate has lots of food miles - so you can't eat it at all.
Normal dairy milk is now disgusting. It used to be OKish. Its now foul.
food miles is a huge issue you are right. Its one of the few things I eat with excessive food miles but I think its shipped not flown which makes it less of an issue
Lidl Fairtrade stuff's nice.
**** Cadbury's, Rowntree and Mars all [i]right [/i]off.
could try the Chocolate Tree up Bruntsfield - cost will cause you to cut down!
Cafe Direct possibly.
Surely Real Foods will have a supply non ?!
Any of ours.
What could be more ethical than making sure I can buy bike bits.
I'm just restocking and eating all the ones I drop.

Zippy - where is that? Your company? I will be round as soon as I can
although shipping uses that nasty bunker oil stuff, so it all gets far too complicated 🙂
Normal dairy milk is now disgusting. It used to be OKish. Its now foul.
I think that might be your palette that's changed - tastes the same to me. Unless I've been dieting, then it tastes worse.
Nope - its definitely the chocolate. Its all greasy from the amount of non coca fat in it and coats your mouth. Horrid - like american "chocolate"
Nope.
Tj. We don't make them just sell them.
There's about 6 different companies we deal with and we buy the best that they have.
Each flavour has to get the thumbs up from me and the ladeeez before it gets in the cabinet.
Tough job...
Divine chocolate is sh*te. NomNom i'd like to try, also Mackie's now do chocolate, so worth a look.
Cadbury's was never great, but now is dreadful.
zippy - what is your company?
Strange no one mentioned Aldi yet.(STW slipping)
They do seem to have a choice seems ok to me better than Crapbury's.
We are a gift shop in deepest darkest surrey.
A bit out of your manor I'm afraid!
The Divine stuff is sold in Oxfam - you must have one of those in town?
If you are a dark choc fan try http://www.amedei.it/en/
You can pick it up on Amazon and at quite a few local deli's. It will kill most suggestions here.
If you like milky fatty sugar and want to be ethical I actually think Divine is not that bad for what it is / beats Lindt and commonly available supermarket brands.
Lots of fake high end choc being paraded around where all you are paying for is nice packaging - especially at Waitrose.
