[I still care]

This is one of the few things they could tax me forever for.

Well, not really, but it is on my priority list.

Companies will simply find a substitute... perhaps an artificial flavor... that approximates the taste of cocoa, and then they’ll drown the products in high fructose corn syrup. In other words, chocolate will simply become what pancake syrup has; a syrup-flavored fake. Go look at the ingredients of most major pancake syrups... none of them actually have real maple syrup in them anymore, just corn syrup and artificial flavors. You can buy real maple syrup, but it’s horrendously expensive compared to common brands like Aunt Jemima, Log Cabin, etc.

It was very distressing to read, in this important story, that “temperature increasing ‘climate change’” is still being weighed as a consideration in agriculture.

Aside from that, as we chocoholics say, just hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt.

Btt

So here’s the deal.

The rest of you find something else to satisfy your craving for something rich and sweet. Leave the chocolate for Mrs. Scoutmaster.

Because things could get a touch unpleasant around here if she doesn’t get her chocolate. Understood?
