As a vegan, I of course abhor the idea of dairy chocolate.

I post this only because the article describes how the candy industry cowardly refused to acknowledge climate change and clean up their supply chain. Instead, they chose to replace cocoa with palm oil kernel.

In other words, they now finance rainforest destruction to make their already extremely unhealthy products even less healthy.

🍌☀️ #Bananas undergo a process called negative geotropism where the #fruit grows upward toward the sunlight rather than toward the ground.

This evolutionary trait allows the heavy fruit clusters to maintain balance while competing for light in the #rainforest canopy. Botanists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, note that this unique growth pattern is what gives the fruit its characteristic curve.
