Believing in Child Labor, Sweatshops and Torture

For whatever reason, a lot of Christian-oriented blogs are coming across my radar lately, but it's not as though Jews have a monopoly on social justice.

This post discusses how the ways in which we act may or may not accurately reflect what we think we believe. That's a rather convoluted sentence (for a rather convoluted concept), so here's an excerpt:

"Take the example of buying chocolate from a corner shop. If I know, or suspect, that the chocolate is made from coco beans picked by children under the conditions of slavery then, regardless of what I say, I believe in child slavery."

Of course, it's not that simple. It's worth reading through the comments as well for a variety of perspectives.
