I love good chocolate. I mean, really good chocolate ... not just the wussy stuff sold at American stores everywhere. Mind you, I'll eat a Hershey bar or Snickers if it is offered, but a really good chocolate bar is ... is ... is ... beyond words.
Now comes word that the American government is encouraging Peruvian coca growers to use an inferior coca plant ... something that will diminish the potential for producing cocaine, the illegal drug which some enjoy as much as I enjoy real chocolate.
Where there is delicious, I guess there will always be danger, but I for one am willing to suffer the dangers if it means I can get my chocolate fix.

The process of commodification does sound dangerous though.
