Oh, i was referring to something I noticed recently: There seems to be a growing movement asking for "decolonization" of chocolate, to bring more of the profit from chocolate sales into the countries where caco grows.
I think it raises an interesting ethical question when it comes to a product in which the key ingredients don't all come from the same place.
On the one side, I totally agree that cacao producers have historically been abused by European chocolate companies, and they should rightfully collect more benefits from this incredibly nice product! Some of these countries even started to block export of un-finished cacao products.
However, many types of chocolate cannot be made with cacao alone, and depend on other ingredients coming from other areas of the world. If every area acts the same way, then it becomes impossible to create "assemblage" products like milk chocolate... How should these situations be handles ethically?
Better than being American?
