Chocolate is one of the world's favourite treats, but scientists have indicated that climate change and other factors may result in chocolate becoming as rare and expensive as caviar within 20 years.
It's hard to imagine Valentine's Day without chocolate, but some scientists say that it's possible that chocolate could one day be in short supply. What would the world be like without this decadent, delectable and divine dessert? "

meh i can live without chocolate. just as long as they don't take away my Coke but even though chocolate isn't a "big" thing for me i can still relate since they stopped making or shipping Samboy Tomato Chips here 4 years ago.

But in 20 years they'll find out how to make chocolate out of the air we breathe, so there'll be no problem. (Hoping that first 2012 doesn't bring the end of chocolate. Mayans knew it'd happen! They were all up in that chocolate stuff with the Aztecs, and they were like, "HOGOD. When we run out the world is going to end!" And that's what happened to them.)

What would a world without chocolate be like? Well, it would be similar to mines. I have an allergy to chocolate but life still goes on. It runs in my family. *shrug* So, a world without chocolate is just another day for me (compounded by gluten and lactose allergies). Carob and mesquite are some tasty stuff and are chocolate-like just in case folk can't deal with it.
