This is getting serious!!!
If chocolate isn’t available, there will be rampaging in the street. Women on unrestrained PMS. Zombies craving brains because there is no chocolate.
This is certainly a national security issue! /s
It is my understanding that the only place to possibly grow cocoa in the U.S. is southern Florida. Mexico and South America are other options.
Paging Rick Scott and Adam Putnam: Florida also has the sugar cane and dairy. Florida can set up a complete vertical processing and manufacturing facility for chocolate candy.
This will bring manufacturing jobs and tourism-related jobs. (plant tours of course!)
