University Guild Program: Mmmmmmm….Chocolate!
Please attend the University Guild program on Mmmmmmm….Chocolate! on Monday, February 3, at 1:30 pm in the University Guild Lounge in Scott Hall, 601 University Place, on Northwestern University’s beautiful campus.
David Letterman has joked that chocolate is one of the four major food groups. Most people do love chocolate! In this program, we'll follow chocolate from the bud to the bar, from cocoa pods growing in tropical rain forests to processing by modern machinery in industrialized countries. We’ll see chocolate in Mayan and Aztec cultures where it originated, and follow it to Europe and the rest of the world. We’ll learn about different kinds of chocolate and discuss its health benefits.

Next University Guild Program: The Role of ‘Warlords’ in U. S. Security Policy with Professor Will Reno, Northwestern University, Political Science Department,
Monday, February 17, 2014, at 1:30 pm in Scott Hall, Guild Lounge. Why do armed groups choose particular strategies? Recent scholarship identifies natural resources as a major factor in creating incentives. Yet some armed groups mobilize these resources to provide protection to communities, even as other groups in similar circumstances prey upon would-be followers. These divergent paths are important in considering how U.S. officials engage with these groups and the roles that they play in evolving U.S. policy. Web site: http://willreno.org/
