Some chocolate tastes a bit sour

Speaking of chocolate... found a captivating slideshow that tells the story of much of the world's chocolate. Stripped of romance, it's a cutting reminder that we need to make sure the entire chocolate chain is doing their best to improve working conditions.

See "Chocolate's Not-So-Sweet Side" at msnbc.com.

West Africa produces the biggest pile of cocoa in the world - 40% comes from small farms in the Ivory Coast alone. The slideshow sketches a scene of child labor in that country that probably won't show up on an FTD commercial.

Chocolate companies, exporters, middlemen and small cocoa farmers all have their jobs to do. Now we just have to figure out who's got the responsibility.
