Professor of Nutrition at Ball State University (Muncie, IN), Deanna Pucciarelli used her collaboration with Ted Ed Lessons to deploy a 5-minute video that reviews the origins and evolution of chocolate. From the discovery of America to the present situation of cocoa plantations, this specialist reviews some of the most significant moments of the passage of cocoa from a Mayan drink rooted in beliefs to one of the most popular pleasures of Western society. This overview serves the professor to denounce the still very delicate state of child labor in many areas of the Ivory Coast, the world’s leading producer of our beloved bean.
