Chocolate – ‘The Food of the Gods’ – has a long and eventful history. Its story is mentioned here by Maya Studies, Michael Koa and his late wife, Sophie’s doctor. The book begins in Mexican forests 3,000 years ago and attracted aspects of archeology, botany and socio-economic. Used as currency and traded by Aztec, reached Europe through the chocolate winner, and was soon a favorite drink with the elite. By the 19th century and industrialization, chocolate became a meal for the public – until revival in our own time as a luxury item. Chocolate is also giving some of its mysteries to modern neuroscientists, who are investigating how the perception of taste is meditated by the human brain. And, finally, the book is closed with two contemporary accounts on how chocolate manufacturers have worked with the moral side of the industry (or not).
