Chocolate meltdown!
    #18948167 - 10/08/13 04:43 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/chocolate-meltdown-the-world-will-run-out-of-cocoa-by-2020/1179482/


So, apparently the world will run out of cocoa by year 2020, and there seems to be no solution to the problem. Industry experts have even predicted the exact date, which would be October 2, 2020.

If this actually happens, how will this effect your life? Is there life beyond chocolate? Can you live without the occasional chocolate fix?

Quote:

experts have figured that 2.3 globes is needed to accommodate man’s needs for chocolate in terms of forestry and space.

Basically, we need another Earth if we carry on at this rate, he asserted.

Kennedy insisted that the problem is that much of the space that was used for cocoa plantations is no longer there, because the farms are being chopped down and turned into rubber plantations as they get a better yield.




Idk, that's what they say :shrug:

there's not way rubber will replace chocolate. i will not buy anything made of rubber, and i'm sure i won't be the only one. i don't care if i have to pay 10 times the price now for chocolate.

when coco runs short, its relative price increases.  when its relative price increases, farmers get greedy and plant it instead of XYZ crop.  then, theres coco.




no worries.  your herseys bar will exist

The Lindt chocolate is pretty good, too. Melts quickly in your mouth.

Guess we'll have to get used to carob instead. I found some carob beans a couple weeks ago in San Diego. They're pretty yummy and are often used as a chocolate substitute.

And Lindt chocolates are some of my faves.
