And now for something different--
"The world's confectionary kingpins are going cuckoo over cocoa, the
primary--and increasingly scarce--ingredient in chocolate. "Chocolate
consumption is increasing faster than cocoa production--and it's not
sustainable," a researcher told attendees at the annual conference of
Britain's Academy of Chocolate." ..."in the future, chocoholics might
have to work quite a bit harder to pay for their fix. The world could
run out of affordable chocolate within 20 years as farmers abandon
their crops in the global cocoa basket of West Africa, industry
experts claim."
