Letter to the Hershey's Company:

Dear directors of Hershey's company, I am only 10 years old. I have just discovered a lot of issues about your company. One of them is the use of palm oil. This is a big issue for animals that live in rainforests. Another issue is, child labor. My class and I have been studying and watching videos made by men who are investigating chocolate companies to see if they are using children as slaves and your company is one of those companies. I am very sad that Hershey's has these problems. I am a very big fan of your yummy and mouth-watering chocolate but I can not eat chocolate until these matters are dealt with. 



From one of those people who love your chocolate.


Here is the video I watched:
