So if child labor was banned, it is your contention that chocolatiers would just shutter their doors because they can't find labor anymore? You can't conceive of the possibility that they'd hire adults at a higher wage? Or raise prices for consumers in the developed world? You're basically saying it's OK for American companies to hire undocumented workers because the alternative is everyone starves.

> ...they'd hire adults at a higher wage..." > "...American companies to hire undocumented..." Please re-read at least the first paragraph of the article. There is no "hire". There is no "wage". The child labor is on subsistence farms. In Ghana.
