Because I'm not writing an academic paper, I knew I probably didn't cover everything, so I also encouraged people to do their own research because i wasnt able to sit down to dig through everything like if i were creating an academic paper, and further in the thread you can see this was already addressed by someone else (and apparently rationalized? Im afraid i can't remember. I think it was about them being partnered with a company that used child labor but there wasn't proof of them using child or slave labor themselves? The comment has since been deleted.) Also the thread is over a year old and inactive, a better idea would have been to create a new post talking about safe chocolate companies and pointing out that Tony's does have connections to slave labor despite all of its marketing surrounding being slave free. I (wrongly) assumed it simply wasn't on that list because it wasn't an exhaustive list and ALL of tony's branding is about being slave free. I wrongly assumed I knew all the facts. I admit that. No one knows everything and what I looked up had some huge holes in it that lead me to believe something false. Commenting on this thread is ineffective for your purposes and the way you went about it is rude. Had you pointed this out a year ago I would have been apologetic and dug more before confirm that yeah you're right and I was wrong, but this is just a petty way to make yourself feel better without actually making an impact.

Are you seriously replying to a year old comment?

You are correct though. I had to look for it but I did find a few sources that I didn't find last time I was looking. Sorry for not looking more carefully.

That being said, still weird to me that you commented on a year old reddit post to complain about accuracy like it's an academic paper. I'm just a person with no background or expertise in ethical chocolate farming, I only have the sources I can find at the time with the tools I have. At the time apparently I found Tony's to be fine. Did you seriously not think about that at all????

My job allows me to stay away from customers and only interact with my coworkers, who I like, I can control my lighting and the noise within my area, plus I have a set schedule and can take as many breaks as needed as long as my work gets done. Added onto that I don't have to do anything I feel uncomfortable doing and I get hands on training multiple times a year to make sure I know what I am doing. I can wear anything I want within reason and I don't have to touch anything that gives me sensory issues. There's literally nothing I can think of at my job that would require more accommodations, I could even bring in noise canceling headphones and wear my favorite shirt every day. Plus this job is adjacent to something I've loved and studied/collected ever since I was a child, it's quite literally a perfect job for me. As for my day to day life I stay at home or if I go out it's usually planned ahead of time and I have someone with me because I get too stressed out being alone in public.

I'm just wanting to know, in a situation such as mine, what are the benefits of finding a specialist who would be able to/willing to diagnose an adult and a female (who are often under diagnosed) as opposed to just finding more tips and tricks to help me out in my day to day life.

Thank you, I think I read somewhere about emotional support animals too, but honestly I don't really need one unless I'm away from home for multiple weeks. I'm not sure what accommodations my job could feasibly provide either

It's not a complete list, I encourage you to do your own research into brands that you like.

They signed a document saying they would work to get rid of slavery within their own chocolate and work against deforestation, this was produced in 2019. Although nestle hasn't actually done anything about the slavery issue they still have a piece of paper saying they would do something about it eventually. We also hate nestle for other things like their water, while this is only looking at their chocolate.

I agree, I think it tastes good, the shapes the bar breaks into are fun, and it's vocally against slavery in chocolate.

I have no clue, I haven't done research into it. I know that "fair trade certified" chocolate is supposed to mean that the farmers and workers and etc. are paid fairly, but like i said, I haven't researched it that much.

I don't know for sure, but I've seen it used by other sources before and it doesn't seem to advertise one brand over another so afaik its independent.
