Fortunately, rising food prices are not factored into inflation rates, so the news will stay positive and continue to declare a Recovery.
Start buying cocoa futures instead of gold!
I’m not worried. I don’t tend to fall for media campaigns that focus attention on chocolate or whatever.
Sounds like a great place for some venture capital. With a few Masters Degrees in Agriculture and Botany, and with enough cash to back them up, an ambitious man could make a name and a fortune for himself replenishing that depleted soil and overhauling the Cocoa industry.
The fact that they are worried about ‘climate change’ makes me not worry too much. Probably just a ploy to raise the price. American’s are a smart bunch, I wonder if we can make it grow here. I’ll have to research that while eating some chocolate.
>Wow! I Can't believe no one has invented the Cocoa gin by now yet!
Cerially, our priorities on this earth need to be dealt with!
Two things that make life more than bearable(to me anyway) and are indispensable are chocolate and cheese. But I couldn’t for the life of me say which one I could ever do without.
Your worst nightmare
Don’t know which is worse...believing someone using the name intellpuke who misspells rarified, or losing my beloved chocolate.
Buy dry cocoa you can substitute in most recipes that call for chocolate (except for chips) tastes just as good and last much much longer.Here is the how-to:

As productivity can be increased dramatically with modern production methods, it seems likely that the market will eventually solve this problem.
It's all about MONEY...not your health.
When are people going to catch on that the "Medicine" advertising is no different than glabal warming...
I had to quit reading before I threw up all over my keyboard.
This article contains every Liberal cliche known to man from sustainable, to global warming, to destruction of the forests, to scare me into nightmares over my chocolate, and not to forget it’s food of the Gods, and only for the rich.
I call bullshit on this one.
I will NOT do without Reece’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups or Coldstone Creamery Dark Chocolate Cocoa Mix.
An influential set of senior industry heavyweights flew to Ghana last week to hear him speak; the talk ended with an unprecedented agreement between industry competitors and the government to establish a working group that will map out a sustainable future.
The last time I read about this they were complaining because there was a shortage of trained "certified" sustainable producers. There may be a chocolate shortage and a problem with disease in the plants, but the guys promoting this crap are ding dings.
Baker's Truffles 3 squares Baker's semi-sweet chocolate 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 egg yolk 2/3 cup confectioner's sugar -- sifted 1 teaspoon vanilla nuts, finely chopped or baker's angel flake coconut Melt chocolate in saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly; cool. Cream butter with egg yolk. Gradually add sugar, blending well. Stir in chocolate and vanilla. Chill until firm enough to handle. Shape into balls about 1-inch in diameter. Roll in nuts; chill.

They were pretty good if I say so myself.
Been predicting chocolate will be as expensive as caviar for six years and hasn’t been right yet, huh? Hmmm, doesn’t seem like the dude’s track record is so hot, right? But hey, look on the bright side of things for this fellow: if he keeps prophesying the same thing enough years, eventually he might just be right! After all, even a blind pig does find an acorn once in a while!
