I WOULD PAY TEN TIMES AS MUCH FOR CHOCOLATE IF IT MEANT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SLAVES IN THE WORLD? HOW IS THIS ANY KIND OF PROBLEM.

good news, you can! the company’s called Tony’s Chocolonely and their entire purpose is to make slave-free chocolate and reform the chocolate industry.

Whole Foods carries it. If you don’t want to support an Amazon-owned company, World Market carries it. You can also buy it directly from the company. 

It’s the best chocolate I’ve ever had and it’s 100% slave free. Tony’s Chocolonely works really hard to push for transparency within the chocolate industry and actually has and is following an action plan to eliminate slavery within cocoa production. They’re good people who make good chocolate.

This Christmas let’s remember this fact…

I’m not even Christian and I still feel compelled to reblog geographically ethnically accurate Jesus

While, as someone from a Jewish heritage, I am very appreciative of the representation of Jesus as not-white, black would not be a good description. Jesus, in the New Testament is reported as having been born in Judea (modern day southern Israel). This would have made Jesus look something like this:

Brown skin, bushy hair (and beard!) and big nose. Although many archaelogists and historians now believe that, had he existed, he’d have been born closer to Nazareth, Israel, the above picture would definitely be much more accurate that the one in the original post. So yes, let’s advocate for Jesus to be represented as non white, BUT let’s also remember that he was a middle eastern Jew and black would also be a historically and geographically innacurate description of Jesus.
