World chocolate supply nearly exhausted!

99% of Raw Chocolate Has Already Been Mined, Experts Warn By Ruth Hershey World Press Syndicate Glubenville, VA--One hundred and seventy Virginia chocolate miners won't be returning to their jobs tomorrow because their  employer, Migrus Confections Group, believes the men have  removed nearly all the raw chocolate that can be practically  extracted from their site. The closing of the Glubenville mine  marks the tenth chocolate mine closing in the state of Virginia  and the fifty eighth shutdown of a raw chocolate extraction  operation in the United States. According to the World Council  on Desserts and Sweets (WCDS), over three hundred chocolate  mines worldwide have been forced to cease operations in the  past decade.

"This is a global problem and it ain't going away,"said Rich Brown, 52,  a chocolate miner who has spent over thirty years working chocolate  mines in both the Eastern U.S. and Central America. "I could probably  get work overseas, maybe in the Austrian or Swedish chocolate mines,  but even those are pretty much tapped. Most people in this business  are looking to get out. The way I see it, we've got three more years of  chocolate left in this world to enjoy--if we're lucky. It's high time I quit  mining it and got busy eating it."
