Chocolate Disaster

Richard Hudson arrived in Dunedin and opened up his first biscuit bake house. All of a sudden, cups of tea had never tasted so good. At that time it was the year 1868, Richard Hudson was the first person to begin the chocolate franchise. In 1930 Mr Hudson and Cadbury teamed up to make New Zealand’s first bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate.


New Zealand had a beautiful Cadbury Chocolate Factory. Chocolate was made here in New Zealand for over 150 years, and nearly everyone loved the sweet, mouth watering taste of chocolate. Until one sad day...  The Cadbury chocolate factory was moving to Australia and my thoughts on this aren’t that nice.


Some people thought it was a nightmare but for me I was scared. I’m afraid that Australia might change the recipe for everyone’s beloved chocolates for example they might change Pineapple lumps or even chocolate bars.


It says that the manufacturer failed, I don’t know why but it’s sad. I’m hoping that Australia won’t change anything and they’ll just stick to the original recipe. I bet the impact will be tragic to all kiwis (People) in New Zealand because it was such an honour to make chocolates here in New Zealand and now the opportunity is gone.


The impact is a very big one because since the factory has closed some people have lost their jobs. As a result some people will not be able to pay their bills or even make anymore chocolate here in New Zealand. It’s such a shame that we don’t have the privilege to make chocolate anymore. It’ll also be hard for some people who have been working there for 30-40 years to find jobs. As time goes on you’ll grow older and it’ll make it harder to find a good paying job.


But in the end of the day New Zealand will lose big time because Australia is taking all the credit and whenever someone buys chocolate instead of the money going to New Zealand instead it’ll go to Australia.

Food for Thought: Analysing Foods



This is my Food For Thought project. A month ago groups of the whole the senior hub went to the supermarket to look at foods. Of course we weren't there to buy things because instead we had to look at how much Sugar, Fat total or how many teaspoons were inside. We had papers and pencils and we started to write. It was a fun day full day of excitement and I hope to do it again.
