[LM_NET] Elem: chocolate facts

[Anne Timbs <timbsa@K12TN.NET>]

I am doing a lesson (actually to leave for a sub) relating to Valentine's Day, 
specifically chocolate.  Students will read about how chocolate is made and watch a 
video on how chocolate bars are made, and be exposed to some fiction stories that 
relate to chocolate.  I would like to share with them some interesting facts about 
chocolate related to Valentine's Day.  For example:  How many pounds of chocolate 
did Americans purchase/consume last year for VD? Which state produces the most 
chocolate candy? and so forth.  I'd appreciate any help in finding a website that 
includes this information.  My searches haven't given me much to go on.
Thanks,
