At present 50% of the company’s chocolates in Canada came from the U.S., and the rest from Europe.
“We are able to source 100% from Europe,” Lechner told Reuters.
Lindt, whose products include Lindor chocolate balls, has already built up inventories in Canada from the U.S. to give it time to change its supply chain, which it expects to complete by the middle of the year.
Chief Financial Officer Martin Hug said it would be slightly more expensive to transport chocolate to Canada from Europe but it would cost less than if tariffs were imposed.
I would love to see more companies move in this direction. It’s not perfect, but at least they are trying, and I think that’s great.
I’m sorry, you had me up until whatever you just said about milk, did I miss something??
The cow must be impregnated for it to produce milk, repeatedly if milk production is to be sustained.
Modern cows are genetic freaks that produce ludicrous amounts of dairy compared to non domesticated bovine variants. this can be quite painful for the animal. Not to mention the unnatural methods of collecting the milk which can and does result in injury. Plus the emotional stress of being separated from her calf more or less as soon as it’s born.
Once you have stimulated dairy production with pregnancy the resulting calf is surplus to requirements so is usually killed if it is male, or is pressed into dairy production like its mother if female.
Before i start getting comments, no i’m not a vegan. i’m just conscious of where my food comes from
this is said as though they are just killed and left to rot. the vast majority are brought to full weight before slaughter
Vegans will never give you an honest argument. It’s all lies, smoke and mirrors or just some emotional appeal.
As herd animals, cows are at least as socially sophisticated as we are, arguably more in some ways. They are capable of receiving trauma the same as we are. I don’t have evidence that cows suffer sexual trauma in “rape racks” (as the industry shockingly calls them), but there is ample and undeniable evidence that when their calves are taken, they understand exactly what they have lost. Farmers report that the mothers spend weeks or even months in distress, bellowing and crying actual tears like any human mother would. They deliver a single calf after nine months, and they have the same bond that we do.
People need to know this, they need to understand this. They need to comprehend the choices that they are making, though the true consequences of their choices are intentionally hidden from them. When I finally understood what I had been doing, I was filled with such horror, sorrow, and regret, it was unbearable. I can never take back what I have done, and I wish I had anyone who could have helped me see it sooner.
Your ignorance has been induced to control you and compel you to be cruel and violent, doing things that are contrary to the values that you wish to hold.
