I enjoyed this video until it said This is a complex problem that persists despite efforts from major chocolate companies to partner with African nations to reduce child and indentured labor practices. Transnational corporations created that awful system and pressure on local resources (while outsourcing manufacturing and value-added activities to richer countries, not the locals themselves. Way to flip the narrative. Also, how come all the Europeans in the video have distinct faces (eyes, nose, mouth) but not the African workers? I don't know if that was an unconscious decision but it's really dehumanizing.

The origin is incorrect, the mesoamericans didnt discover chocolate. It was actually discovered in Ecuador by the mayo chinchipe culture 5, 000 years ago. But then this culture traded the beans to other ancient civilizations and tribes in peru, Brazil, and then it spread to mesoamerica where the Olmec found it in the jungle. The Mayo chinchipe also turned the beans into drinks and used them in important rituals and ceremonies to worship there gods.

The horror of children slavery in chocolate production in Africa. Thank you for spreading the word. Certainly not all about chocolate is sweet. .A thoroughly educational video indeed. Thank you for not hiding the TRUTH.

Let's not forget that the Aztec and Maya practiced human sacrifice, violently conquered other tribes and enslaved people different from themselves. You should remember that every time you eat chocolate.

My kids love these videos. Afterwards, we all tried hot water with cocoa and then added honey to taste the difference. Such a fun mini history lesson
