The list of foods whose price are rising seems to be much longer than the list of foods whose price is stable.

Fortunately, rising food prices are not factored into inflation rates, so the news will stay positive and continue to declare a Recovery.

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.

>the cocoa pod is split open and beans are dug out by hand and extracted from the pod’s white pulp

>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.
