In a supermarket the other day, looking at all of that chocolate, I started to wonder about how many people know, or, more importantly, care, about where chocolate comes from. I was reflecting on how, on the one hand, Easter seemed to be turning into more and more of a materialistic affair, yet on the other hand, how hard people in, to use the approved term ‘less economically developed countries’ have to work, for a pittance in return, to grow and harvest the cocoa beans that are the primary ingredient of chocolate. People who consider themselves fortunate if they have a nearby supply of clean water.
