While the "History" section references chocolate's origins as a Mesoamerican product, the society and culture section only addresses modern day associations limited to Western European, US, and Chinese culture. A paragraph on chocolate within Central American, South American, and Indigenous cultures ought to be added at the very least. West Africa, given its prominence in the cacao trade, should also be paid attention to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:CE01:2200:3D87:8998:C986:DD19 (talk) 23:04, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thankyou. Yes, this is a gap that needs to be filled. It's good to note that these associations aren't limited to Western Europe, US and China. The notion of chocolate being a luxury informs why it is a common gift across Eastern Europe and the world generally.
I'm not sure how much there is on chocolate consumption in West Africa, I've seen [1] which says there is a fear in Ghana that overconsuming chocolate impacts libido/causes impotence in men. Hot chocolate#Africa covers some cultural practices of the beverage. Generally chocolate as a solid is not eaten because it doesn't store well in the heat, although it is growing.
A paragraph on Central and South America would be good. Segnit 2010 describes chocolate being used as a spice in Mexican cooking. Revista has published a fair amount of material on chocolate in South and Central America, although not a lot on general attitudes that I've seen. Maricel Presilla's Gran Cocina Latina has some good info. Most info is very specific, not just to countries but to small towns.

The first sentence of this section opines, "In the US, the Food and Drug Administration does not allow a product to be referred to as "chocolate" if the product contains any of these ingredients." There is no subsequent list of ingredient provided, and it is unclear what "these" refers to. A Wikipedia power user ought correct this part of the article.203.158.42.210 (talk) 23:12, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
