Penny does that mean they are pretending so they can keep increasing the prices on chocolate? I might be okay, I think there are some flavors of ice cream I eat(when I must) that don't have chocolate in them.

I could buy up Hershey syrup (if it has a long shelf life) and use it to "choc lo cate,"
all the vanilla things. BTW if you dump some of the syrup in a jar of peanut butter it
makes a faux version of peanut butter cups - good to the last drop.
 
Does that mean we have to start weaning ourselves off of chocolate now? :th
Both the Bananas and the chocolate stories are true. Sometime after 2030 cocoa beans will not be able to be grown where they are now. They will need to go higher in elevation which is into protected places in Africa.

Bananas in the store are all one plant that has been propagated. This plant is killed by a fungus. The fungus is already in Africa and some are dying off in South america.

Research is under way for both cocoa and bananas though. This is the second time for bananas too. In the 1950s the cultivar in stores was wiped out by a similar fungus. Now we have Cavendish bananas. The one that was wiped out was supposed to taste better
