Wow, a tiny percentage of the whole crop, known as "sustainably grown, free trade" cocoa may not be available. Unless it is. Possibly because of the climate, probably because when the economy is in the toilet, less people want to pay 500% more for chocolate.

we'll just go back to "unfair" trade.
I have never given a shit about "fair trade" anyway. "Fair Trade" is a label that white people stick on food grown in shitholes so that other white people will feel guilty and pay more than the marke would otherwise make them pay so that the white traders can buy Ferraris instead of BMWs.

The Ivory Coast isn't the only place where cocoa can be produced. We aren't talking about a substance like Spice.

I picked it up, but dropped it again for lack of interest.

Everyone knows he hates anything chocolate. Maybe it was a reference to Scary Spice?
