Yeetle Box - Chocolate Shortage

A drought in Western Africa and unrest in the Ivory Coast -- the world's biggest cocoa producer -- has combined with rising consumer taste for cocoa-rich dark chocolate to raise concerns about a shortage in supply.

Bottom line: There is a chocolate shortage. This will drive up chocolate prices, leading to more expensive chocolate - in turn, leading to more expensive M&M's.

Oh my!

How, oh how! -will we ever maintain our obesity in such circumstances?
