Such an interesting topic! Two things came to mind that I'd like to share with you. The first is a bit about my experimentation with drinking Yaupon tea this year, which grows wild on the coast of the Carolinas, and is the only native caffeinated plant that grows in these united states (as far as I understand). It is a little less caffeinated than coffee and black tea, but it is delicious, and pairs well with other plants, like lemongrass, lemon verbena, mint, etc... many of the green kitchen favorites. It feels good to be drinking something that grows a little closer to home.
The second thought that came to mind is that you might enjoy my current favorite chocolate, which I purchased for the first time in Toronto on a visit, and now order from their online shop. Chocosol: https://chocosoltraders.com/
Bean to bar chocolate, with good info on their four source of chocolate.
It's always a pleasure to read what you are thinking about, both your words and words of others.
If you get the chance to add the chocolate cake recipe, I'd be curious to take a look and give it a try!
Fixed it! The chocolate cake recipe is now at the end of the article. Sorry about that. 😊 I checked out the website you linked and it looks wonderful. I will definitely try them next.
I am a light weight when it comes to eating chocolate. This said, there are times when chocolate is what I want! Interesting how it can be forgotten for months and then come zinging to mind with a bit of urgency. But, I can also say this for something like cauliflower as well. lol Thanks Leenie and Sue!
Thank you for this wonderfully in depth article. We need to bring to light the human toll in the production of the foods that we love, but can't grow ourselves. we need to do better and it was good to see so many companies in the US that are on the list of ethically sourced chocolate.

Uh-oh, the chocolate cake recipe should be at the end of the newsletter. Let me check that. Thanks for the heads up!
Thank you
