So these children are driven to work due to poverty right? So isn't the answer to try to address that rather than to say "stop using cocoa harvested by child labor?" Like I'm totally pro-non-child-labor-cocoa, but wouldn't the kids just get other jobs then?

It's not an either-or situation. Companies should still be criticized and stopped from exploiting children.
