@ajkandy @Climatehistories some VC backed techno-optimists want to destroy demand for cacao farming with their ersatz/ soylent.

They even managed to fool some random taste testers, but not people who know good chocolate.

Cacao grown under shade can be carbon neutral, and even help repair deforested land- but we rely on subpar research done on the worst growers and packers to determine ecological impact of a sector.
