Chocolate for All Occasions

1. Chocolate is very popular around the world. Chocolate which is made from cocoa beans was a spicy drink before becoming a food. The first people to drink it were the people of Central America and Mexico thousands of years ago. They also used cocoa beans as a form of currency. For example, you could buy a rabbit for ten cocoa beans and a slave for 100.

2. Spanish explorers brought cocoa beans to Europe in the 16th century, but only rich people could drink chocolate because it was expensive to import the cocoa beans and sugar. People didn't start to eat chocolate until about 150 years ago.

3. Nowadays chocolate isn't only for rich people, but for everyone. Europeans are the biggest consumers of chocolate. Too much chocolate is unhealthy because it contains a lot of sugar and fat, but scientists say that eating a little dark chocolate once or twice a week can help prevent heart disease and lower your blood pressure.

4. You can eat or drink chocolate but you can also use it to run your car! In 2007 a team of British people drove a special truck 4,500 miles from the UK across the Sahara Desert to Timbuktu in Mali, West Africa and their truck ran on fuel made from waste chocolate!

5. The best news for a chocoholic is that every year a chocolate company in the United States has a competition and the prize is a chocolate hotel room! Everything in the room is made of chocolate: the walls, the pictures and even the furniture. The lucky winner can eat as much chocolate as he/she likes!

6. Chocolate contains a chemical which your body produces naturally when you fall in love, so it's not surprising that chocolate is a popular romantic gift in many parts of the world.
