The Wasington Post reports:
The world’s biggest chocolate-maker says we’re running out of chocolate
And the deficit could be 2 million metric tons!
Chocolate deficits, whereby farmers produce less cocoa than the world
eats, are becoming the norm. Already, we are in the midst of what could
be the longest streak of consecutive chocolate deficits in more than 50 years.
It also looks like deficits aren't just carrying over from
year-to-year—the industry expects them to grow. Last year, the world ate
roughly 70,000 metric tons more cocoa than it produced. By 2020,
the two chocolate-makers warn that that number could swell to 1 million
metric tons, a more than 14-fold increase; by 2030, they think the
deficit could reach 2 million metric tons.
I'm sure Obama has had a hand in this somehow.
Probably a top secret Executive Order.
