The article and a lot of discussion these days about food prices has been focused on corporate profits. While true there is a substantially undeniable issue of Climate change really causing a negative impact on yields.
People can criticize the Carbon tax especially after Trudeau tried to squeeze more votes from manipulating it. But saying climate change isn’t here and noticeably effecting people lives is a insanity from the right wing politicians.
Wholesale Club near me somehow has those no name bars at $1.69 still. Only two types, one being dark chocolate and almond. Probably will go up soon… and Wholesale Clubs aren’t everywhere.
Dollarama sometimes has the same size bars for $1.25, I think? Not near the register, though, in the other candy aisle. And not dark chocolate, I don’t think, unless it goes quickly.
If I recall correctly, last year’s cacao crop failed pretty hard too, although I don’t remember whether or not the reason was related to climate change.

A lot of no name chocolate doesn’t even contain that much actual cocao anymore.
I was mostly just keeping it to the list in the article. But it’s really it’s most things by the second or third degree.
