While I'm all for better tasting chocolate, I have to ask (and I do feel twelve kinds of wrong even saying it), why exactly do we need more chocolate? Is there a shortage? Have we come up with even more things that need to be drenched in the best substance known to (wo)man? I mean, really. Bananas, raisins, nuts, ice cream, cherries, strawberries, pretzels... The list goes on and on. What next? Bacon? Oh, wait.
All joking aside, I'm a science nerd and I think it's pretty cool that we (and by we, I mean all those government scientists hard at work while I sit at home reaping the benefits of their labor) have the kind of knowledge and resources to map a genome, cocoa or otherwise. But just in case you're still not convinced that your tax dollars are being put to good use, please consider the following:
Makes you feel a little better, doesn't it?

Gee-that's exactly what I needed to see the day I told myself no chocolate.
I for one, would probly die if there were ever a shortage of chocolate:)
you had me at "chocolate". Yum! (Maybe they are afraid a bout of chocolate blight will wipe out the species . . .one never knows. It's good to know they have their priorities in place, though)
I too support our scientists in their endeavors to preserve our precious chocolate consumption rights.
I can't even eat milk chocolate right now (since I'm off dairy). I'm more than just a little frustrating! Enjoy a few bites for me.
hmmm... being the only surviving chocolate-free female in Utah I think I'm a little miffed that my tax dollars are being put to this purpose... unless maybe the crossover science aids in the production of better caramel...
This is the first news story I've seen in quite a while that makes me feel like the govt. is doing something important. Now THIS my friends is definitely a matter of national security. (They must know what will happen if the female population is deprived of chocolate.)
As long as it wasn't Nancy Pelosi's idea, then I support my government 100 percent.
And I want to dive into that chocolate cake like nobody's business.
If their was no chocolate, would us husbands be better off knowing that you wives would have to love us more or would we be in mortal danger from chocolate deprived women out to destroy all man kind?
HAHA, Your the B E S T !!! :)
