Recommended: Chocolate in the old world

In today’s society there are many different types of religions. What if there was a religion that incorporated something that you love. This why my colleagues and I have created a new religion, Chocolate-ism. Chocolate-ism is a religion based on love and healing. It is believed that Chocolate can mend your broken heart and battle depression. The main focus of this religion is to always be happy with whatever life throws your way, and through chocolate-ism this can be achieved. Followers of Chocolate-ism believe that there are good and evil people in this world. If you’re allergic to chocolate it is said that you are considered evil.

Our services are held at chocolate factories, but our main service is at the main chocolate factory in New York. at the beginning of the service when you enter the factory, you will be presented with a chocolate offering. Before you go and take your seat at the service you have to eat your chocolate offering. One myth that is associated with chocolate-ism is that when eating your chocolate you are not allowed to bite down. If you bite down on the chocolate is is considered disrespectful to the father, you must let the chocolate melt in your mouth. After you eat your chocolate offering you must make a cross with your chest, like in catholicism. Instead of saying father, son. holy spirit you say Aztec, Maya, Olmec. On you are seated the father will begin the service. The father will read from our sacred test, the chocolate bible and the true history of chocolate. Throughout the service, when you feel lead to, you have to go to the front of the service and take a drink from the chocolate fountain. This drink will cleanse you of all of you unhappiness. The chocolate will not fully fulfill you unless you leave the fountain with a chocolate mustache. After you leave the service you will feel full of happiness and like a new person. The one commandment that we obey above all is, “respect all kinds of chocolate”. This means that you will not discriminate between white, dark, or milk chocolates. You must treat all chocolates the

  • Conformity In The Chocolate War

    1194 Words  | 3 Pages

    Conformity is defined as a type of cultural influence involving a change in belief or behavior in order to fit in with a group. First studied in 1932 conformity can take on many different forms and is part of our everyday lives. Conformity can be introduced via peer pressure and/or accepted social norms. Both Hook and Anzaldua talk about conforming, economically and linguistically respectively, to society. In the book The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier the main protagonist, Jerry Renault, defies a powerful gang in school, called the Vigils, and must decide if conforming to their wishes is better than standing up against them and “defying the universe”. Both Hook and Anzaldua point out conformity in society based on pressures to meet various linguistic and economic norms. However, by understanding how our culture puts these pressures on individuals, much like how Jerry Renault discovers how the Vigils pressure people, it becomes easier for people to understand they don’t have to force themselves into a mold that doesn’t fit their language, culture, and/or economic standing.

  • The Columbian Exchange: Chocolate

    652 Words  | 2 Pages

    Chocolate or cacao was first discovered by the Europeans as a New World plant, as the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. In Latin, Theobroma literally means: “food of the Gods” (Bugbee, Cacao and Chocolate: A Short History of Their Production and Use). Originally found and cultivated in Mexico, Central America and Northern South America, its earliest documented use is around 1100 BC. The majority of the Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Aztecs, who made it into a beverage known as xocolātl, a Nahuatl word meaning “bitter water” (Grivetti; Howard-Yana, Chocolate: History, Culture, and Heritage). It was also a beverage in Mayan tradition that served a function as a ceremonial item. The cacao plant is g...

  • The Chemical and Psychological Effects of Chocolate

    1277 Words  | 3 Pages

    Before looking into the chemical and psychological effects of chocolate, it is important to go back in time and see where chocolate originated. Even from the very beginning chocolate was viewed as a powerful food. The idea of chocolate first began in 1500 BC when the Pre-Olmecs and Mokaya peoples found that the beans that grew on the cacao trees could be used as food (Semenak, "Chocolate in History"). Moving forward to 600, the Mayan and Aztec civilizations used the chocolate beans in a more meaningful way. The Mayans created a drink from the beans and drank it during weddings and other important ceremonies. Only those of the highest class could indulge in what the Mayans referred to as the “God Food” ("Food: The History of Chocolate"). Similarly, the Aztecs created a drink out of the cacao beans, and according to Susan Semenak’s 2012 newspaper article, “Chocolate in History,” the Aztecs used it as a “love potion.” Pretty soon, the beans became so c...

    From Dairy Queen’s Chocolate Extreme Blizzards to a Hershey’s bar, I love chocolate of all kinds mixed with all assorted goods. I believe that everyone knows that chocolate is bad for humans to consume in large/multiple quantities. But I also heard of people having “chocolate addictions”. I realize that most people are exaggerating when they say they are “addicted” to chocolate, but it lead me to wonder if it is possible to really be addicted to chocolate and if it is something that could happen to anyone.

  • The Benefits of Chocolate

    There is nothing any better than a good piece of chocolate. Its rich, its creamy, its smooth, and it makes us feel so-o-o-o good for a few moments of course, that is; until the guilt of the calories kick in. Chocolate happens to be one of my favorite sweets. The wonderful creamy milk chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, white chocolate, or even my personal favorite a silky dark chocolate, the choices are hard. I sat down this weekend to really think about, and compare the differences. I compared my two favorite types of chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is usually paired with nuggets, nuts, creams or caramels, but the dark chocolate is best with a wine such as a Muscat Canelli. Either makes a great desert, treat, or snack for anyone.

    The Theobroma cacao tree is where it all started. Olmecs, Aztecs, and Mayans were the original consumers of cocoa: they would form it into a drink and ingest it for medicinal reasons (Allen Par. 7). The Spanish then brought it back to Europe and continued to treat a variety of ailments with it (Allen Par. 7). In the last 40 years people have started to question the health benefits of chocolate, but new research is starting to prove that the Olmecs, Aztecs, Mayans and Spaniards were not too far off. Now, the pods from the tree containing cocoa beans are collected, and the cocoa beans are taken out of the pod (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). The beans are then fermented, dried, roasted, then ground to make cocoa liquor (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). The cocoa liquor is then combined with sugar, vanilla, and cocoa butter to make what is now known as chocolate (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). Controversy over the health benefits and detriments of chocolate is slowly subsiding, but there are many things that a lot of people still do not know about how chocolate can affect ones health. Chocolate is misunderstood.

  • The Dark Side of Chocolate Production

    Introduction The 58 million pounds of chocolate eaten on chocolate the drenched holiday of Valentines Day is likely made from cocoa beans from West Africa. The Ivory Coast, also known as Cote D'ivoire in Africa is the source of about 35 percent of the world’s cocoa production. These cocoa beans were likely harvested by unpaid child workers that are being held captive on plantations as slaves. Chocolate companies use these cocoa plantations as their cocoa source for their chocolate products. And since the companies want to maximize their profit, they push plantation owners to lower prices, causing plantations to cut price any way possible (Philpott).
