these kids are awesome! If they are not being fed lines, then we are looking at the future leaders of the world because those are the most assertive 12-year-olds i have ever seen. Regardless, the general tenor of their message is an essential one: many times in the past, we have heard the rhetoric and the banal platitudes of industry representatives who promise reform, but, nevertheless, maintain their endeavors as they hide behind the guise of the "planning stages." I realize that complex economic systems are at work in every industry, chocolate included. I also realize that this complexity is interwoven between those with large investment capacity, those with small investment capacity, as well as local and global interaction. However, i feel like there is a distinct between caution and simply stalling and i think that line gets crossed more than it should.
