NOTES
Chocolate explores many aspects of the much-loved cacao bean: cutting-edge genetic science; social and environmental considerations; history; and culture-providing a thought-provoking look into one of the world's most popular foods through the centuries. It relates fun facts as well-like the story of the children who went on strike to protest a price hike on candy bars after World War II (and were accused of being Communist agents). As a bonus, it also includes photos-and some sweet recipes
