Chocolate Shortage?

Published on March 21, 2007 By foreverserenity In Blogging

I came across this article on MSN Money at msn.com, that there will probably be a chocolate shortage:

_______________
"A drought in Western Africa and unrest in the Ivory Coast -- the world's biggest cocoa producer -- has combined with rising consumer taste for cocoa-rich dark chocolate to raise concerns about a shortage in supply.

As a result, cocoa futures have been trading at three-year highs, with prices rallying since the beginning of the year.

"In the last few months, cocoa prices have rallied on expectations for a smaller crop from the Ivory Coast and Ghana,"

Now, I can handle the fact that I have to cut my coffee drinking down to one cup a day...I was getting to happy with more than two cups a day...and I still drink tea but coffee was getting the better of me!

I can handle that I have to cut down on my intake of food because I'm on the forever-weight-loss quest (no pun intended on the 'forever') and I want to look better in my old age!

I can handle anything that is thrown at me because I have my chocolate when I need a fix, especially at that time of the month when I become a raging lunatic!

I HAVE GOT TO HAVE MY CHOCOLATE!!!

So the possibility of a chocolate shortage is just too intense for my chocoholic brain to fathom...I think I have to start hoarding chocolates now!
