francescob Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetor Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 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 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.

JustGeorge Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Oh they'll just use anal sac secretions from donkeys instead of cocoa, like they do with Beaver butt juice for vanilla flavoring. Disgusting what is acceptable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpit Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 the scarcity might just help play its part in curing global obesity, but it'd suck not to have the most ubiquitous snack around cheaply available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason S. Global Moderator Posted October 10, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted October 10, 2013 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?

NinjaGinger Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 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.

srbeen Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
