Check out the YouTube video "Chocolate - The Bitter Truth Part 1 - Child Trafficking!" It is filmed undercover to show how children are enslaved in Ghana and the Ivory Coast to work on plantations to supply large companies with chocolate!
Wonderful video, if you are interested you may want to also read about the special mite that pollinates the flowers. I have 2 plants growing in my living room (in Michigan) and am excited that one is blossoming.
It changes flavor with all of the processing methods. Strait from the pod it tastes almost completely different then even dried organic beans, and the beans taste different then a Godiva Truffle.
i live in a tropical country and we have cocoa tree in our backyard! i love eating cocoa fruit and saving the cocoa seeds to make chocolate drink out of it!
@lslavychecker Some people say that white chocolate is not chocolate. But in my opinion white chocolate is chocolate because it is made from the same substance as milk chocolate and dark chocolate. White chocolate has cocoa butter, milk, and sugar. Cocoa butter comes directly from the cocoa bean. Cocoa butter is used to make white chocolate. White chocolate is really chocolate.
After realizing that Lagonoy, Camarines Sur, Philippines has been producing large amounts of cocoa beans, my mother and I were interested on how to market it either locally or by export. Here in the Philippines, instead of sending them to the a chocolate factory (which I am not really sure if there are any in our country), we make chocolate balls, consuming them either by melting them to be a chocolate drink or may eating them. Could you please suggest other household procedures I can do?
wow! this is really a wonderful video. in this video, they explained so clearly and in detail. thnk u sooooooo much for uploading this video in youtube
Its so strange that i searched all over the internet and i couldn't find a video that would show me how chocolate is really made...all the videos started with molding the chocolate..i was very disappionted until i found this video...Amazing video
A wonderful video - but I beg to differ about "chocolate causing migraines". Most chocolates do not cause migraines but there are some high quality chocolates that do. What causes it - I do not know. I have to limit certain types of high quality chocolate otherwise I get what I call a "Chocolate Hangover".
@fudgeshoppe Actually, chocolate has caffeine in it...which if you eat high amounts of chocolate....god forbid...may actually give you a caffeine headache, which also chocolate can also help get rid of. I know a bit about caffeine headaches cause I used to suffer from them from the time I was around 18 till I got pregnant at the age of 22! So yes, chocolate can cause migraines, if you eat high amounts of it! Which I'm sure would result in one hell of a stomach ache!
The first coast to coast color TV broadcast was by NBC on January 1, 1954 in a "colorcast" of the Rose Bowl Parade. So that would be 55 years 9 months and 14 days as of today October 15, 2009. FYI.
That and the ONLY reason the spanish king was interested in chocolate was because of his greed, he liked the idea of having the currency growing on trees.
Chocolate is simply divine. I can't imagine life without chocolate bars, chocolate cake,hot cocoa or even chocolate chip cookies! Chocolate is awesome!
yeah, it contains many drugs, that's why... cannabinoids, and grain (in cookies) contains opioids. When we feel like crap we know how to supress our emotions. Until we cannot dig into real us, under big pile of garbage we're in prison :)
It wast the Aztecs who invented Te-xoco-atl (chocolate), not the Mayans, both new the cocoa beans but it was the aztecs who turned it into chocolate!!!!
Chocolotae is one of the 7 ways the Humanity will come to an end. Alien from mars come and ask us for chocolate, and we dont give them! They will destroy us... STOP CHOCOLATE!!
This is a fascinating video. However, I wish it had addressed the 300,000 child slaves (statistic given by the US State Department) used to work the cacao farms in western Africa. Every chocolate consumer should be aware of their possible complicity in child slave labor and be careful about buying from slave-free chocolate producers.
Thanks for addressing this issue... I would have never known... I'll make sure that I mention this when I discuss Chocolate for my Informative Speech for class.
just finished a big chocolate while watching this.
