I was reading another discussion about chocolate, than I remembered some time ago, my cousin read somewhere on the internet, that cocoa will be extinct in some years from now! That made me feel really bad, and now that I remember it, I feel bad again, a world without chocolate fears me...
But still, I am not totally sure if it's for real or not...
What do you guys think?

I read an article about this topic. I think it was called "Is the world running out of chocolate" The article said that the amount of chocolate that we eat is larger than the amount of cocoa that is produced each year. The dry weather in Africa has reduced the production of cocoa, and that is one of reasons why less cocoa is produced. But cocoa is also produced in South America, and they don't have the same problems. I hope that we will never run out of chocolate

This cannot be happening. The world would die out without precious chocolate.

@TiarasOceanView Wish it was so easy like that, but not every country is good to harvest cocoa.

You may not believe it, but that's a truth.. But people arround the world are trying to make some alternatives so we don't end up without chocolate.
