Brockton’s food industry is cooking like never before

The Enterprise of Brockton, Mass.

It’s 6 p.m., and at Liberty Bakery Kitchen, floor manager Manny Vieira is on Boston cream duty.

Vieira takes a hollow doughnut and presses it against a tube, filling it with custard. Other workers are baking, frosting, powdering with sugar.

The treats are being made for the region’s ubiquitous doughnut chain, Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s a big operation: The Brockton factory supplies 132 of the chain’s restaurants in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

“Made in Brockton” once applied primarily to shoes. Now the label might be more fitting for food, city advocates say.

Chicago-style pizzas for Uno’s restaurants, Near East pita bread, caramel for major candy bar brands — they’re all manufactured here.

And many of the largest businesses that have moved to the city in recent years are in food.

“We’re not really surprised about the fact we’re getting food manufacturers,” said Mary Waldron, executive director of the 21st Century Corp., a city-funded development group.

“Brockton has affordability — much better prices compared to the region north of us,” she said.

Chocolate – The Bitter Truth 5 of 5 – Child Trafficking – BBC Panorama Investigation

Chocolate – The Bitter Truth 5 of 5 – Child Trafficking – BBC Panorama Investigation, recorded on 08.05.2010 .

This is the bitter truth that we all face each and every day, no matter if we are chocaholics or prefer a good cup of tea to start our day. even if we abstain from both, there are a myriad of items, beginning with our clothing that are only that convenient because somewhere there is a child labouring for next to nothing for your convenience and of curse my convenience.

I cannot highlight all issues here and guess neither can the BBC. Why exactly they selected the chocolate industry, out of so many examples, to report will remain a mystery to me, yet in all fairness only two years ago they highlighted the same issue in the cotton industry, so this is not a vendetta against my beloved chocolate…

Still the issue remains … Why is it so difficult for the industry to impose sanctions on Child Abuse (or any abuse full stop) ? Is it that they simply don’t care ? Is it gaps in legislation ? Well, I hope this documentary can show that it is neither of these … as far as I can see, abuse (be it Children or other victims) happens as long as one lets it happen. There is always a “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” out there somewhere. and as long as they can get away with it, they will…
