Your Shortcut to... the Global Chocolate Crisis
from Squiz Today · host Squiz Media
It’s Easter this weekend, so for the season of chocolate we thought we’d take Shortcuts off the beaten track and look at the world of chocolate production. Where does chocolate come from, and why are prices about to soar? Squiz recommends: Watching: The wonderful John Oliver of Last Week Tonight has his own segment on chocolate, which covers a lot of the same ground but with better jokes… Eating: Tony’s Chocolonely is a Dutch brand that was started by a journalist called Teun van de Keuken. He was looking into child labour in the chocolate industry, and he then wanted to prove that he could make delicious, profitable chocolate without child labour.
