I teach chocolate classes to the public in the Chocolate Laboratory at the Hershey Story Museum in Hershey, PA. Chocolate and how it is grown and processed is my passion. I hope to travel back to Hawaii one day to see a real farm in action! Thank you so very much.

You are changing the paradigm and that is serious business. Nutrition and health is serious business. Eating for pleasure is serious business. Thank you Ted Talks! Thank you Will for your passion and expertise and for recognizing a great opportunity and dedicating yourself to it! Awesome!

Thank you Will for this wonderful presentation full of valuable information. I totally agree with you: "Let's teach our kids that chocolate is so much more than candy bars."

Have you ever tried to find an exact an reliable answer about: HOW MUCH CACAO DOES A Nestle, Hersheys, Callebout, Milka, Lindt or any other commercial brand a bar has??? These companies and some others, are "experts" on hiding the truth about the quantity of cacao. These products are NOT chocolate, they are SUBTITUTES of the real thing, that's it! As a chocolate maker in Costa Rica I am amazed on how little people know about this food! Good talk from this TED pressenter!

I've been to the farm and it was amazing; I'll never think of chocolate the same way. Thank you so much!

According to the export code, Milk chocolates are NOT chocolate, technically they are chocolate flavor candy. Milk chocolate will not give you any benefit... cero! The Dark chocolate is the one the has the antioxidants, the problem is that there are just a few Dark chocolate that has cacao butter without being substituted by the unhealthy hydrogenated palm oil. So, look closely on the ingredients! Enjoy real, pure Dark chocolate ethically produce of course!

I drink pure hot chocolate just add sugar every morning

how is this a TED talk

This is not a very "serious" idea that WORTH SPREADing, it more of a FUN idea or POSTIVE idea to spread. Although I do not totally agree with him as to how great a food chocolate is cause of the "refined sugar" and saturatd fat. but people can only eat a very small piece of dark chocolate a day and it makes them HAPPY. so it all right. I live in Hawaii also and done fresh Hawaiian cacao bean to bars of chocolate, 70% and I must tell you chocolate is the MOST LABOR INTENSE FOOD to manufacture. From the growing, to harvesting, fermenting, etc, etc, etc, before it a chocolate bar. I believed $10 a 3 ounce bar is still not profitable enough, like $30/bar. So if gives people a JOY for for once was consider a 'SIN" food cause it candy, then it worth spreading. In fact, I need to contact him for me to present a TED talk on Insulin Resistance.

I make cacao ice cream almost every day. It is beyond "awesome." But I would never use white sugar or anything like that, as apparently is done in dark chocolate bars. I think you are committing a grave error in calling chocolate made with sugar a health food!!! For my sweetener in my cacao ice cream, I use dates and other dried fruits. Absolutely delicious. So in many ways I consider your TED talk very misleading from a real health point of view.

The glucose and fructose (and a few other trace sugars) you're getting from dates are molecularly identical to what comes from the disaccharide, sucrose, when it's broken down. You get the added fiber and maybe some additional nutrients from the dates, but those sugars are in no way more inherently healthy than white sugar. No chocolate is health food-- It's candy, but you're probably not qualified to speak about anything from a "real health point of view," either, since it doesn't sound like you have an education in chemistry or medicine.
