And here I was getting worried over nothing. - SomeImagination, on 07/07/2008, -2/+55You'll probably still be able to buy "chocolate flavored" bars, which is better than nothing I guess
- vinceislegend, on 07/07/2008, -6/+53***** THE RIAA
- Feyr, on 07/07/2008, -0/+46we are pleased to announce that the chocolate ration will be increased to 15 grams up from 20 last week
-1984 - CabanaBoy, on 07/07/2008, -3/+49Solution seems simple enough.
1. Cocoa grows in rainforest.
2. Plant Cocoa in rainforest.
3. Profit! - jermo, on 07/07/2008, -1/+42in 20 years i will have diabetes anyway, so I'm good.
- Intensity, on 07/07/2008, -5/+33I call *****
- slapded, on 07/07/2008, -1/+28you mean DIABEETUS?
- twiztidsinz, on 07/07/2008, -3/+28You know what we need?
We need some Chocolate Rain - DaDrake, on 07/07/2008, -1/+25LOL give me a break... they will do what American farmers do with crops that deplete the soil. Dump a ***** of fertilizer on it and ignore all the dead fish in the stream.
- ModX, on 07/07/2008, -3/+2710 bucks says they solve this before the global rice shortage.
We need to get our priorities straight. - Asrrin29, on 07/07/2008, -0/+21you mean increased. work on your doublethink!
- KingGorilla, on 07/07/2008, -0/+21There's always soylent chocolate
- idavidtang, on 07/07/2008, -1/+194. Deforestation.
5. Loss of rainforest.
6. Net loss! - Hincapie, on 07/07/2008, -0/+18so will everything else
- chasebadkids, on 07/07/2008, -0/+16The second I saw this post about chocolate becoming rare I instantly thought about 1984... haha
- Meursault, on 07/07/2008, -0/+16Yes, in 2029, you'll take your date to a 5 star restaurant and order the special: Cocoa Puffs.
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -1/+16CAROB WILL FINALLY HAVE IT'S DAY!!
- mcaaronice, on 07/07/2008, -0/+15For everyone who laughed at my plan for Caviar S'mores: NOW WHO IS LAUGHING!?!
- Fluvant, on 02/27/2009, -0/+14In other words, "Donate money to my organization to stop this doom"
- Renian, on 07/07/2008, -0/+13First, Iraq for oil.
Next, Switzerland for chocolate. - Schda, on 07/07/2008, -0/+13It's what a lot of people are eating these days anyway. I love real chocolate, but you have to look a bit and search to make sure that is what you are really getting.
- binorgog, on 08/07/2008, -1/+13God I hope a female scientist gets her monthly visitor right before this happens.
- marx2k, on 07/07/2008, -0/+12Beats the hell out of caviar flavored chocolate >_<
- dromni, on 07/07/2008, -1/+13That article is a stinking heap of MAJOR *****. I am from Brazil, wich is also a cacao producer, and traditionally it is cultivated in the Bahia state, thousands of miles from the rainforest, so there is no such a thing as "cacao needing the rainforest".
As other comment mentioned, "the Times should be ashamed". For starts, they write "cocoa" instead of "cacao" referring to the fruit used to produce chocolate. The poor fools... - Disjunto, on 07/07/2008, -0/+12most "chocolate" bars are full of flavourings and useless crap anyway, most people wouldn't notice.
- phorty40, on 07/07/2008, -0/+12Chocolate flavored caviar the ultimate in decadence.
- Evildudetx, on 07/07/2008, -1/+12Sorry, this is a ***** article. Just because they won't be able to sustain their farms, doesn't mean it won't be picked up somewhere else.
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+11Far more likely Chocolate will become as expensive as coffee.
- slvrbullet87, on 07/07/2008, -0/+11changes from person to person
- haral, on 07/07/2008, -11/+22Women around the world will be _very_ unhappy about this and quess who they are going to blame, shout have the mood changes etc? Yes correct, us men will have to handle all the crap followed by this. :D
- NotOptium, on 07/07/2008, -2/+12Hi I'm Wilford Brimley and I have diabeetis. I hurts me to pee and it causes me to be short with my family. I can't sleep at night. The other day I stubbed my toe and took it out on the dog. And two weeks ago I ran out of vanilla ice cream and struck my wife. Then I find out my wife's been dead for six years. Who the hell did I hit?
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -4/+14Good! We need to take back New Orleans anyway.
- chopsky, on 07/07/2008, -2/+127. Plant more trees in rainforest because demand must meet the supply.
Solved. - SolidBones, on 07/07/2008, -0/+9Somehow this one guy just isn't convincing me that there's a real problem.
- ooby, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8It's nice to see someone actually read the book. So many people talk about Big Brother without having a clue about what's between the covers.
- twiztidsinz, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8Best reason I've heard to save the rainforest.
- GoEKniGhtofNi, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8it's nice to be swiss once again :-)
*eating a 400g choc bar* :-D - Duositex, on 07/07/2008, -1/+9Buried for fearmongering bs.
- thisisntjon, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8video related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTZ2xpQwpA
- dafragsta, on 07/07/2008, -3/+111. Slash and burn rainforrest.
2. Profit.
There, I applied modern capitalism to your plan. - Renian, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7Getting there isn't the problem. I'm worried about our exit strategy.
- nodong, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7Secondary forest growth, especially in rainforests, takes a ridiculously long time to become as productive as original old growth forests.
- minoss, on 07/07/2008, -1/+8No *****. These prediction are always so hilariously bad and wrong. Just goes to show how both the left and right have got fear mongering down to a science.
- thegreenspanput, on 07/07/2008, -0/+6cnn should be ashamed.
- phorty40, on 07/07/2008, -0/+6I for one support the war on chocolate.
