If you can’t imagine life without chocolate, you’re lucky you weren’t born before the 16th century. Until then, chocolate only existed as a bitter, foamy drink in Mesoamerica. So how did we get from a bitter beverage to the chocolate bars of today? Deanna Pucciarelli traces the fascinating and often cruel history of chocolate.

The mesoamericans also gave us corn and vanilla.

People need to realize that it's not the chocolate that is sweet but rather the sugar that's in it. That's why when people buy unsweetened chocolate they're disgusted by how bitter it is.

I can imagine in the afterlife that kid is telling everyone that he died because his mother drank all his medicine

Vanilla was already added in Chocolate (Vanilla is native to Mexico too). Also honey and other various things were added to Mesoamerican Chocolate. Like Achiote, various flowers etc. Spanish nuns in Mexico added milk and sugar. In Mexico there are tons of various forms to eat and drink chocolate (Champurado, Mole, etc.). Xocolatl

As a Ghanaian boy growing up in the cocoa farm, the harvesting times are memories I'll carry for life. And not to down play the struggles of others I never considered helping my parents as a child labor. Because fortunately every patent I knew back then considered school as their children's future.
As someone who experienced that life, I think the western considers every support African children give their parents as a form of child labor. Though I stand to be corrected.

The Mayans were right. Chocolate is the food from heaven.

Cortez "visited." That was pretty generous summary of colonization.

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.

"Man now I want chocolate..."
"Oh I'm on a diet, I guess not"
My diet: Only 1 bag of chocolate chips instead of 5

If someone barged into your house, killed everyone, and stole everything, saying that he "visited" is not how I would describe that event.

Mayans used it as currency too. I'm Salvadorian. When I was in the 7th grade, we went to a cacao tree that was near school to learn about it. Now I feel nostalgic.

my family is zapotecan (indigenous to oaxaca, mx) and we have preserved a drink made from cacao and maize for thousands of years, it’s called tejate, we believe it is a drink of the gods :)
