This is a protest page….against the high prices of decent chocolate and beer in Denmark

Chocolate
I the last years everybody who wants to know have been concerned about the fact that part of the cacao produced to the world market in the Ivory Coast is made with the use of children and youth kidnapped and held as slaves at some of the cacao plantations. This cacao is bought by companies like the major Danish producers of chocolate : TOMS and Anton Berg. Part of their chocolate should statistically have a amount of cacao produced by slaves.
 If you don’t like the taste of child- and slave labor, you might change to a chocolate that inform where the cacao was produced – like Max Havelaar and Valrona do.
You could also write to TOMS: info@toms.dk and ask how much longer the count on using this problematic commodity.
Or how about asking Søren Fauli – Danish actor and producer, who makes commercials for TOMS, if he only do it for money – or if he has some ideological drive working for TOMS.

Some years has passed since Danish breweries felt the competition from foreign – often Belgian - Brewers and it became possible to buy good beer in ordinary shops, but it is still all too expensive.

Why do you still have to pay € 3 for a small Chimay Bleau – when you can buy it for at third in Belgium ?

Is there someone taking too big a profit or do consumers want to pay for the exclusiveness of not drinking the mass-market beers from Carlsberg and Tuborg.

Even local micro-breweries takes exorbitant high prices for their more or less successful experiments.
