[edit] Reason's for article needing attention

This article has a number of problems. This includes irrelevant details, such as the anecdote concerning his family owning an island. It also reads somewhat like a press-release: "The cocoa bars are available from retail outlets Selfridges and Waitrose and direct via his website, as well as being supplied to Marco Pierre White's White Star Line restaurants."

I question whether this article meets Wikipedia's Notability guidelines. There are plenty of citations however, so this is a matter for discussion.

Should this article even be kept?

There maybe room for some editing of the material, but I don't see why the article should be deleted. After all, he has interest value in a fairly unique field. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.254.150 (talk) 16:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Swimming Cattle?

"...the family settled in Ireland where they bought a 180 acre island. Rather than live on it, they farmed sheep and cattle on it, which would swim across the sea to reach the mainland"


What?
