But what about the chocolate? Rising Cocoa Prices May Leave Chocolate Fans Bitter : NPR It used to be that people wished their country had oil to make them a wealthier and more developed nation. Now, they wish they had it so the US would save them from their despotic and murderous regimes...Oh wait, that might not be good enough (see "History of US Foreign Policy)...there have to be thousands of dead...no wait...that's not enough either (see Sudan, Rwanda and Congo). Maybe the chocolate supply disruption might save them. |
