This is why people don't have any faith in government. John Oliver on food safety if you want to get angrier
Honestly, it is good the system is breaking in this way.
Politicians are realizing that politics is not just easy money anymore. It's a job that every person's life is now suffering from.
Unions are increasing, climate activism is increasing, people are realizing the defense department may be a corrupt money pit rather then for defense.
Things are slowly changing, and the CEOs of the republican party are getting out before the roof collapses on them.
I don't believe this is accurate. (Gestures to the news, the latest elections, the current batch of gov)
I had to skip that one. I just didn't want to know. But I'm never eating chocolate again because of him.
I completely understand. Watching his show made me feel so powerless, frustrated, and angry that I took a pretty long break. That particular episode was the first one I had watched in a long time. I didn't see the chocolate episode so I don't know what you're talking about actually.
Do not watch the chocolate episode if you want to keep eating chocolate. Because I guarantee you that you will never want to eat it again.
It's really, really bad, so I don't blame you if you don't want to know.
I'm at work so I can't watch it now but I'll post it here too remind me to watch it later

Hate to break it to you, but that is also the case, though it's pretty inconsistent across brands and even batches. Just search for "chocolate cadmium lead".
What's the TLDR?
Hidden for people who don't want to know.
A large percentage of the world's chocolate is harvested using child slave labor and even chocolate brands that try to be cruelty-free cannot guarantee that children were not harvesting and processing it. He showed a bunch of footage. It's just awful.
