Green is The Word, Act XXVII

Good Friday, Good Friday!

This past winter with a big winter storm system headed
towards Cincinnati, we asked our mother if she had any
food stocked in case she couldn’t get to the store.
Her reply?

“I’ve got chocolate and chicken soup.”

She may not have the memory she used to have, but she
knows what she likes. And she put chocolate BEFORE
the chicken soup!

The High Priest, having been brought up on........
chocolate.........has some green advice and abundant
experience on the subject.

Forced and child labor remain problems on both
chocolate and sugar plantations, but three brands—
Ithaca Fine Chocolate's Art Bar, Sweet Earth Organics
and Theo Chocolate—combine fair-trade certified cocoa
AND sugar in their organic chocolates.
Even America's favorite chocolate brand, Hershey's,
has added sustainable chocolate to their product line
with the recent acquisition of Dagoba, which uses
fair-trade certified cacao and coffee beans.

So stock up now, before the next storm hits!
And don’t forget about your mother this Sunday,
even if she forgot....


Praise be to the Almighty and stockpiled cacao bean!

Curtis
High Priest of Green
