Ah I see. It is the chocolate industry’s turn to have an existential shortage crisis, jacking up prices never to come back down.

MBAs sure are smart for coming up with this one to keep up the charade of perpetual growth.

I mean, there's also climate change destroying harvests. Chances are we'll all live to see most luxury foods priced over a days wages. This is just the start, soon it'll be coffee, chocolate, fruits and veggies, cane sugar, meat, then staples like beans and grains. Make no mistake we're cooking ourselves out of a planet to survive on.
