Chocolate. It's delicious, sensuous, rich...

and probably your first flavor of choice for dessert. We bake cakes and cookies with it, stir it into sauces, and create confections of staggering texture and variety.

But how many of us know about the lives of those at the bottom of the “chocolate chain?” The people who grow the cocoa beans for the chocolate you enjoy so much are hardworking, and in most cases, subsistence farmers.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could help these farmers, to improve their lives and those of their families so that the next time you savor a chocolate treat you can add the pleasure of giving to the experience?

And what if you could do all that, simply by eating chocolate?
