How a £1.50 chocolate bar saved a Mayan community from destruction
Green & Black's Maya Gold, the first British Fairtrade product, is more than an organic chocolate bar - it's the livelihood for a whole district of Belize.
(snipped)
Suddenly, it occurs to me that Maya Gold - the name given by Green & Black's to its orange-and-spice chocolate bar, made with beans grown by Cyrila Cho and the other 940 members of the Toledo Cacao Growers' Association (TCGA) - is more than just a slick marketing gimmick alluding to a semi-mythical past. It may evoke images of ruined temples, ancient peoples and lost civilisations, but the name is also rooted in the here and now, a tribute to the Maya who produce cacao today.

Ooooo! Chocolate!
Gotta love orange chocolate! (when desperate, I buy orange flavored soda pop, like Orange Crush, or Sunkist, and drink that while eating a Hershey bar)
First time I had chocolate and orange mixed together was at a restaurant in England that was next door to the hotel we stayed at. Love the combination now! I have to go buy some orange chocolate now, if I can find any.
and to try to keep on topic...I'm not feeling so positive with my MS today. I keep tripping over stuff today, like some snow...my feet...a piece of yarn on the floor. There's some invisible troll apparently trying it's best to screw up my Christmas by trying to make me fall down. This is not cool.
Maybe some orange chocolate will help? I know it cant hurt!
