How will the extra processing and distillation, etc., affect the retail price of a chocolate bar?

I remember seeing a video of the indigenous pickers who harvest the cocoa beans.....they were offered a piece of chocolate - something they had never ever tasted. It was something to see the look on their faces.

Hardly at all.
The ‘World Price’ of sugar is waaaay below what we pay in the US for it due to price supports for domestic sugar producers’ protection.................

They have an exhibition in Switzerland against their colonial past - even though they had no colonies.
The article is all about colonialism, greenhouse gases, eliminating sugar production.
These people are a dangerous cult.

On what planet is a cocoa pod “the size of a pumpkin?”
Picture at link:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_bean
They are briefly the color of a pumpkin, but they are probably 1/10 - 1/15 the size of a pumpkin.
I’ve bought and used cocoa beans, stripping them from their pod, and roasting their white, translucent flesh until getting cocoa pieces (nibs).
The BBC reporter and editors are stupid.

They give $millions in political contributions to protect that price support. You know, to protect America. I guess all those other American Agricultural interests which have been destroyed by NAFTA and other brilliant laws and regulations just haven’t been putting enough money in the right pockets.

They were probably looking for a way to make S’mores cheaper.
