How much chocolate is too much? Is there even such a thing? As a nation, we each gobble up 5kg of chocolate every year, on average. But we can do better! We are already out-munched by the Swiss (9kg), Germans (8kg) and the Irish (7.4kg).
Tuck into this tasty edition of The Big Issue as we celebrate all things chocolate. Roald Dahl shares his sweet musings on his favourite treat (and lobbies for chocolate history to be taught in schools); an Adelaide writer has homesickness for Haigh’s, another confesses to a Milo addiction; and we hunt out the truth behind reports of a choc-pocalypse. We also visit a chocolate workshop, and journey to a cacao farm in Guatemala, where three generations of women make chocolate by hand.
