What's Up with Chocolate?
from ShelfSense: Stories Behind Our Stuff · host Cynthia Barstow
Chocolate is one of the world’s sweetest pleasures—and one of its most bitter industries. In this episode, Cynthia Barstow and Gen Z voice, Vivian Mottl, talk with Joe Whinney, the pioneering founder of Theo Chocolate and now co-founder of Magic Chocolate, to explore how a once-broken system is being reborn through regenerative organic farming. With Dr. Bronner’s passing the torch to Magic Chocolate, a new era begins—one rooted in ethics, ecology, and extraordinary flavor. As trick-or-treaters head out to fill their bags, it’s worth discovering how "the right chocolate" could help heal the planet, one cocoa bean at a time.Send us Fan Mail
