Cote d'Ivoire's New President Asks for Chocolate Boycott, too!!

Alassane Ouattara is the newly elected president of Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast to some) and is recommending something that I doubt the average American could do- boycott all cocoa and chocolate products from his country.
Banning all cocoa and chocolate from Cote d'Ivoire is NOT EASY! Basically, you must not eat ANY chocolate WHATSOEVER, unless is has a label stating the cocoa is from another country. This is because cocoa from the Cote d'Ivoire is used in all sorts of products. So look closely!
