"Chocolate is something most of us love but tend to take for granted. We dip just about everything in it \u2014 we&amp;#039;re looking at you, chocolate-covered bacon \u2014 and we&amp;#039;ll even shell out $10 for a fancy bar. It&amp;#039;s easy to forget that not everyone has that luxury. Many cocoa farmers, like those living in the Ivory Coast, don&amp;#039;t have the means to buy the end product of all their efforts. Metropolis TV went to this particular region to offer these farmers the chance to finally try chocolate and to teach us more about the process that goes into satisfying our sweet tooth. The touching video focuses mainly on a cocoa farmer, Alfonse, who admits he has no idea what companies make with his cocoa beans. He&amp;#039;s never seen chocolate before and the bars that are available would cost him roughly a third of his day&amp;#039;s pay. It&amp;#039;s also a good reminder of just how far chocolate is removed from the actual beans. Alfonse and his friends wonder if eating chocolate makes people healthy, an idea we all wish were actually true. Watch the entire segment below:      If you&amp;#039;re a little more motivated to seek out fair trade bars now, try looking for brands that are involved in the entire process from bean to bar, like Equal Exchange, Green and Black, and Mad\u00E9casse (to name only a few), and check out this list of 19 organic and fair trade chocolate brands from Good Housekeeping.
