Flutterby™! : like cocoa for chocolate

A video of Ivory Coast cacao farmers tasting chocolate has been making the rounds. MeFi user ChuraChura goes off on it:

I find this video pretty distasteful (and that's aside from the link between cacao plantations in Cote d'Ivoire and child slavery).

I work in southwestern Cote d'Ivoire, just on the border of Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia. The men I employ are largely cocoa farmers, when they're not in the forest taking complex observational data on primate behavior and ecology.

Well worth the read.
