No More Chocolate?

[luvh8tragedy87]

I heard that. I'd definitely miss it if it was gone. I love chocolate, white chocolate is my favorite but dark is a close second.

Oh no, I need chocolate! 

[Getinonthis]

NO! Life would be hard without chocolate, I do so enjoy a Hershey or a snicker every now and then.

A world without chocolate would be sad indeed.

This reminds me of the twinky scare.  Going to stock up and set up an ebay account.  LOL.  I like chocolate but am not a great consumer of it.  There are other plants that make chocolate tastes.  Like the chocolate mint plant.  It will actually turn milk to a chocolate color and it does taste like chocolate.

I love chocolate mint plants. They smell so yummy.

I saw that too.....I love chocolate so hope we can find a solution so I don't have to pay more

I read about this on the internet.  What will we do without chocolate???  Since I personally don't care for the dark chocolate, I think they should stop making it since it is using so much of the cocoa beans and only make milk and white chocolates (my favorites).

It would suck if we ran out of chocolate cause I love it hope it doesn't run out though

[melissaotto1982]

I think it would work for me but its just crazy to think that we could run out of chocolate!

That would be contrary to normal human behavior! When it gets closer people will start hoarding it.

Well, we should all get down on our knees and pray that doesn't happen.  Right? 

Long live chocolate! 

Somehow I think God has more important things to worry about than if we have chocolate or not. lol

Have you heard that the world is eating more chocolate than is being produced and that if it continues we will run out by 2020, especially because of the popularity of dark chocolate (which has more coca beans in it). One possible solution is to grow a variety that has less taste, but would that work for you? It would cut down on consumption, but could go the other way too far.

I heard about this story AFTER I heard that there was going to be less chocolate because of the countries the cocoa bean is grown in - due to Ebola and these countries not having enough people to pick the beans.  Now I wonder which one is true.  Actually, I wonder if ANY of it is true or is it just another way to jack up the price of chocolate since everything else has gone sky high.

A while back I had heard that the price of chocolate would increase this year because of the cocoa bean crop being destroyed or not producing enough because of drought.

Really?  How does this work?  I have chocolate mint in my garden every year.  But I don't really know what to do with it.  So do I just jank the leaves off and stir them in my milk?

[countrygirl12]

No i have not heard this nor do i think it is true if it was going to run out by 2020 i think it would be in the news somewhere thats not that far off.

lol.  It HAS been on the news.  I have seen it and heard it several times.
