You’re a very bad person.
Your afternoon chocolate bar may be fueling climate change, destroying protected forests and threatening elephants, chimpanzees and hippos in West Africa, research suggests. […] Ivory Coast’s (sic) now has about 2.5 million hectares (6 million acres) of natural forest, a fifth of what it had at independence in 1960, according to European Union figures. Most of the losses have been due to expanding agriculture.
This is bad, presumably, because – taking up the white man’s burden – we must guide the gentle, ignorant natives to understand the joys of their natural place. Away with cities, agriculture, trade, and other such contaminations which sully their happy peaceful lives of hunting and gathering in the pristine African forests!
Or…something, I don’t know…
But…climate change! For the children! FEEEEEL what a bad person you are! Also notice how virtuous we are, since we care so much more than you. Climate change! (ah, it feels so gooood to be so good…)
Hey, what’s wrong with that? If these Communist cows want to swear off chocolate, that’s fine by me!
Being so virtuous and woke, I suspect they’ll allow themselves all the chocolate they want. After all they need their strength. It’s the great masses that need to reform their wasteful, profligate ways.
Those are some sorry-looking people there, for sure.
RRiigghhtt – I heard the same crap about eggs, butter, bacon, milk, cream, sugar, coconut oil, fruits, whole grains, legumes and anything else we eat. When they give up eating and survive it; maybe I will take more interest in what they are saying.
Not my problem…. https://thepriceofliberty.org/2017/09/13/still-not-my-problem/
OF COURSE I like chocolate. You can’t have a *safe space* without chocolate.
(Seriously though… I’ll take the chocolate over the safe space any day. And, oh yeah, you can hold the virtue signaling and public self-flagellation while you’re at it.)
Well, now that I know this, I just bought a few cases of various chocolate goodies from Amazon, and I think I’ll have some chocolate ice cream after lunch.
“ethical chocolate.” HaHaHa. I love hearing about new things that I’ll never worry about.
Cheers
Now this brought a smile to my face because today I (a) shot a round of golf on a course that uses all sorts of chemicals to control weeds and bugs (bad, bad, bad) and (b) I had a granola bar covered in chocolate. Any day I can get a two for one on these weenies I call a good day.
