How come there is no discussion about the rising cost of chocolate and its decline due to climate change? Since 2007 the price of chocolate has went up 87% and yet we continue to use chocolate for non-consumption purposes.
As a pastry chef and small business owner this makes me sick. It seems more apparent these days that pastry chefs worry more about appearance and being able to make it look beautiful, than the flavor. We do not need to make towers of chocolate to prove how good we are as chefs.
Each year 100's of tons of chocolate are wasted because we build towers of chocolate to wow people, and then throw it in the trash???
My hope is to put a stop to the waste of our shrinking global chocolate supply. We have a responsibility as professionals to stand up against schools, competitions and hotels from this wastefulness.
