On the next episode:

We visit coca farmers in Columbia tasting cocaine for the first time.

Someone should ship these cats cases of Godiva-goodies every year for their whole slave-labor clan, including enough Cocoa butter to keep their skin soft, supple, and ashless-

Hmm, if i was to produce a confection from the best possible ingredients, i would very much like that the whole chain from start to finish know what they are aiming at. Meaning that if your first part of chain has no idea what comes out the other end, he can't know instinctively what traits are good in the raw material.

If they only knew the truth!

There are some artisan chocolate manufacturers who do that. There was a tv show about an english guy who went and lived on the cacao farm that was producing the beans for his chocolate. He would cook meals for the staff using chocolate.

I have no idea how much of it is real and how much is just marketing, but the idea is nice...

Chocolate mfgrs are... big time... in touch with what they want from the bottom rungs of the process. They've got needs and buying dollars.

There's something bittersweet (no pun intended) about seeing people who are tasting chocolate for the first, and probably last, time in their lives, considering that it probably wouldn't exist without people like them...

Reminds me of living in New Guinea when I was a kid, simple things like lighters were quite literally inexplicable magic to the more remote high land tribes. The pidgin name for helicopter is "mixmaster 'im belong Jesus Christ". It's almost a childlike naivete, and probably explains why they are dirt poor and exploited so that the west can give itself diabetes...

Great sift!

I'm surprised that a bar of chocolate could spend any significant amount of time in his pocket and not be converted into chocolate syrup.

In the next episode: Cocoa Farmers from the Ivory Coast get the sad news from their doctors that they've got type two diabetes.

He got it from Walmart.

Sweet, sweet irony.
