No, predictions of cocoa beans running out eventually was published years ago, we're not gonna get it together this time either.
not a surprise, this has been expected to happen for a while. this is why you should invest in your cacao farmers so they keep at the job, like hotel chocolat do. Obviously can't do too much about the lands changing due to climate change unfortunately.
So Cadbury's are worried they might not be able to exploit poor cacao farmers for much longer. Boohoo.
Lose coffee
Slow down population
Therefore less polution made!
But then...
Lose chocolate
People learn to make nuclear bombs in garages to have vengeace over lost chocolate wars
Irn bru is ruined
No more Cadburys.
Running out of reasons to live here.
Caffeine is an incredibly addictive drug so having coffee prices multiply in the future may be a good thing. Chocolate on the other hand.. pls help
Coffee is the second most traded item on the planet after oil. Caffeine disappearing and shooting up in price will cause 90% of the developed world to go through withdrawls. By all accounts other than making you take a massive dump an hour after downing a cup of it too quickly there isn't really a downside to coffee addiction.
Tbh I've actually been learning a whole lot about growing my own coffee. I drink it just often enough that I could sustain my self off home grown coffee. Tea on the other hand, I will riot if climate change fucks that up.
No downsides except, you know, stress, anxiety, blood pressure and heart problems. No big.
Unless you down a shit ton of this stuff every day there's no downsides
If you don't drink it more than two or three times a week, sure.
People can never seem to decide on whether coffee is a dangerous kill drug that will give you cancer and implode your heart or a healthy beverage that is a staple of the modern diet.
It's LITERALLY about quantity, though. We regularly ingest cyanide and lead due to our diets but in such astronomically small quantities that it's no big deal for our bodies.
Unless you live in Flint or something, then you're fucked.
A single drop of coffee is enough to kill five people eventually.
There's pretty much no downsides unless you're chugging 50 redbulls a day. I've seen no evidence what so ever to support the idea that drinking like 5 cups or so per day is in any way a health negative.
Jokes on all of you: I don't drink any caffeinated beverages, and I get less than seven hours of sleep daily and still wake up at 6 in the morning on work days!
(But I love chocolate.)
you guys really cheapen the idea of addiction when you start spouting BS about coffee hurting people with withdrawal
Says the guy who almost posted 30 times on FP in the last 24h with merely a 6 hour break in between
It seems like my information was out of date and I misconstrued the risks from my doctor recommending against it in the context of me taking some medication.
In actuality it seems like coffee has a wide number of health benefits that massively outweighs the risks.
The only legitimate information I can give you is not to drink coffee if you're already taking other stimulants.
My bad.
This is what you get for talking smack about the most delicious beverage on earth. If coffee ever was a huge health issue 80% of the Finnish population would already be dead or dying.
Well, caffeine IS a substance that effects your body in certain ways, and caffeine dependency is a thing. The line should be drawn between addiction and dependency though, they're obviously not the same or nearly as difficult to get away from as a full on addiction to something.
But yes, you can have withdrawal symptoms from caffeine like irritability and sleeplessness. But most of all, headaches, LOTS of headaches. Especially if you have an already present headache problem like me.
Which is why I only drink a lot of it.
Coffee ranks as one of the worst things I've ever tasted.
[Dune reference]
I actually gave up caffeine recently and have been feeling better, I also rarely eat chocolate, I've noticed that we do have an overproduction of chocolate, the isles are stacked with chocolates.
Time homegrow?
On the one hand, yeah, it's good that these farmers aren't going to be exploited, but honestly? Those people will die out if the cocoa crop does.
Does this mean I can finally start the house of the Harkonnen and snort Cacao?
Global warming can take my coffee and other luxury western goods when it takes them from my cold, dead, hipster, several hundred feet under the shoreline it was formerly called the American east coast, hands.
