Could we live without Chocolate ?

In these days as in the effect of the purple elephant or as other call it the baader-Meinhof phenomenon, I hear more and more about the possibility of the extinction of cacao plants.
Climate on earth is changing believe it or not, and this will change a lot things in our life.
The Cocoa is a "spoiled" susceptible plant and needs specific conditions for it's growth.
These changes like of a higher temperature affect the cacao crop yield and harvests could be completely wiped out within 30 years as per the prophets of wrath (?)



Mars, a company behind some of the world’s most popular chocolate products, with the help of the university of California researchers that are using the gene-editing technology CRISPR are trying to breed new cacao plants which will thrive warmer climate and this could be a real relief not only for chocolate addicted.

GMOs may be able to bring a new resistable plant but the question if the taste will be the same ? Chocolate is a complex food, containing hundreds of different flavor components so it is a big challenge.
Meanwhile, we face already a chocolate shortage, also due to demands of rapidly growing populations of chocolate lovers in China and India.
Can you imagine a world without chocolate?

So many desserts will vanish a way from our sweets list, party table will look different, no candies, no soufflés, no bonbonniere and what's more ? Chocolate cakes, hot cocoa drink in cold evening winters…
What's more most important thing is if I feel sad how will I cheer up ?



Actually, I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow. I'm gone with the wind, all what I need now is a cube of chocolate, could you bring me one? Thank you my dear Scarlett !
