Dreadful news. This Mail Online article out of the UK says we are losing our sustainable cocoa bean growth worldwide, due mostly to unrest in West Africa where most of the beans are grown.
Scary. Reading it made me get out a some chocolate for a snack. If you think things would be bad when the world runs out of oil...just watch what happens if we run out of chocolate!
In the mean time, I think we should all buy a few industrial-sized cans of Hershey's Cocoa Powder and sock them away like we did for Y2K. I'm going to Sam's today to get some. And some marshmallow creme. Just in case...
;-)
This would be devastating! I'm going to stock up, too :)
