18. hmm...
For me, two huge issues come to mind:

1) OUR children need to know about this, because I personally know a number of young people who would instantly protest and stop purchasing/consuming Nestle, Hershey, Mars, and all other candies produced by abusing children (and, I intend to tell everyone I know).

2) The ginormous sugar industry MUST be considered complicit in this alarming abuse of children, since every child in our nation who is addicted to sugar is highly likely to be obese, diabetic, heart-diseased or a combination of all three.

Of course, the unassailable, sacrosanct profit motive we all use to justify our perverse economic behavior may just cause quite a few sphincters to tighten up over my post...
