Recommended Posts

Give coke and other drug lords something else to grow

Watch the dealers peddle chocolate to kids and parents outside schools....

Reminds me of a movie I once watched :p

why don't they just say "the production industry must double in size"? Saying you need another earth is just silly.

Because the truth is not that we need another earth, it's that we need...

 

ANOTHER UNIVERSE!! :o

Reminds me of and episode of Raising Hope, when they start making a very additive chocolate..people were in lines trying to buy chocolate from them, like

junkies :)

 

the problem is not just chocolate, but there's allot of other resources that aren't enough for the increasing demand.

this might have already happened, but wont some mega-evil corporation like Monsanto just modify the cocoa plant to product more fruit and grow faster?

A chocolate universe? Sweeet!

 

The world is probably going to end (again) before we run out of cocoa.

Everybody, go over to LimeMaster's house to blame him... because he stole all the cocoa... he uses cocoa to mix his drink with his lime...

 

:shifty:

I do nothing of the sort.

Looks like the choco-ohols will need to cut down to help save chocolate.

As I understand it, when planted. it takes 4 years to produce beans. Nobody can afford no income for 4 years and the demographics are that cocoa beans are grown in what we class as poor countries, so there's another reason.

You're right. Let's turn our economies in communist ones. It's not like they have any issues...

 

I was saying capitalism of foreign markets is killing cocoa. They choose to grow rubber and quinoa rather than cheap cocoa because it earns them more take-home money. I wasn't saying the US, EU, Australian, Canadian  or whatever '1st world' capitalist economies are losing so much money on it they are pushing for more profitable rubber or quinoa... pretty sure they still make their healthy cut regardless of what they sell the consumer. Capitalists are likely rejoicing at the amount of money they can squeeze out of the thought of no cocoa.
