This is about where chocolate comes from. 70% of all chocolate comes
from Africa!

I am reading from allchocolate.com
it's very interesting.

it's a good read because they have enough money to buy good editors

here is some...

Imagine a thin belt spanning the globe 20° degrees north and south of
the equator: this is where the cacao tree thrives and chocolate starts
out.

A product of the cacao tree, chocolate is made from the tree's seeds -
called cacao beans or cocoa beans - which means every delicious bite
you take starts out deep in the tropical, humid countries that border
the equator.


I never knew this.

Okay so far.

Misplaced comparison. "Called 'beans' or 'nibs'," would be better
than trying spell cacao two ways.
