Here are three beloved foods in serious need of resuscitation. Number one is particularly devastating.
1. Chocolate
Like the looks of this molten chocolate cake? Enjoy it while you still can. More than half of the world's chocolate supply is produced in Ghana and the Ivory Coast, and both countries are severely impacted by rising global temps and changes in rainfall patterns.
I don't know about you, but a loss of chocolate is going to damage my personal health.2. Avocados
I love my avocado toast as much (probably more) than the next person, but a combination of extreme heat, wind, and a years-long drought have put avocado crops in California at serious risk.3. Bacon
Think that Hillary's meds can lead to blood clots (like Dr. David K. Cundiff who lost his medical license)? You should be worried about this artery clogger instead. Some agricultural associations predict that there will be a shortage of pork in the next couple of years. So cook while you can.
Other foods that may be on death's door include honey, due to the worldwide massive loss of honeybees from Colony Collapse Disorder, as well as wine, which is threatened by warming temperatures around the globe. Bluefin tuna is also on the list, because a growing demand for the fish has made it the sixth-most threatened species in the world.
Well, this list certainly ruined our day. It's terrifying to think how many foods are in danger because of environmental and weather conditions, as well as human involvement.
