It may be a bizarre elixir for the current economic crisis, but Bloomberg Television has declared chocolate a potential cure.
On Bloomberg’s Nov. 25 “In Focus,” Bloomberg News correspondent Su Keenan showed that cocoa commodities tend to do better in tough economic times
“If you’ve been craving chocolate lately, you may not be alone,” Su Keenan said. “Analysts say worries about jobs and the recession have people desiring a little something sweet – like a Hershey’s kiss. And that can boost sales of candy bars and the cocoa that goes into making them.”

We gotta do something to preserve the Constitutional government as originally designed. Might be a bit too late for that too.
We needed another “Chocolate Town”
That idiot statist Bloomberg should ban chocolate. Those who voted for him deserve it.
I think a much better idea would be for the USDA to do for these plants the miracles they did for grains.
Many years ago, a dangerous situation developed because only four nations were feeding much of the world. So the USDA developed any number of grains that would grow in all sorts of different lands. This boosted world food production enormously.
I know that ordinary breeders have developed hot weather apple trees that grow delicious fruit in the southwest. So why not figure out some way for plants like cocoa, coffee, bananas, tropical fruits, etc., to grow and prosper in America?
Several of these crops are at risk from plant diseases, so why wait until there is a plague, and the price of a Hershey bar jumps to $10 an ounce.
