We all love chocolate, and most of us
probably eat it every day, or at
least several times a week. It is one of the most favorite kinds of food in the
world, and many would say that they can't live without it. However, there are
many facts about the world of chocolate that most people do not know.
Have you ever
wondered where your chocolate comes from? Most of it comes from the labor of
children. It is said that in Africa alone, there are about 70 million children
working on chocolate farms. They lead a very hard life, and many live only on
bananas and corn paste(浆糊). One child who was interviewed said that he was
tricked into believing he would be earning money to help his family. But the
truth is that he is treated like an animal. The child has never even had the
chance to taste the chocolate
he spends his life producing.
The history of chocolate pretty much begins with the
Mayans(玛雅人). Cacao(可可)beans were so valuable to Mayans that they were used as
money. It is said that ten beans could buy a rabbit, and one hundred beans were
enough to buy a slave. People would buy everything from food to tools with the
beans. Generally, only the richer people drank chocolate regularly, because
drinking your money is expensive.
