Summary:
A rapidly spreading virus threatens the health of the cacao tree and the dried seeds from which chocolate is made, jeopardizing the global supply of the world's most popular treat. Researchers have developed a new strategy:using mathematical data to determine how far apart farmers can plant vaccinated treesto prevent mealybugs from jumping from one tree to another and spreading the virus.
Anytime I hear the word virus i just think in my head “whatever fucker, eat shit n die’. This fucking shit is so damn tiresome. I got major issues going on i think.
And they could probably just treat the trees with Chlorine Dioxide and cure all of them to kill the virus everywhere.
Spraying trees/plants with Chlorine Dioxide has been used before to prevent bacteria that kills them.

Great, not a chocolate vaccine is gonna get madr
This SUCKS! I love chocolate. Another thing to try to scare us. I’m not eating it if they start vaccinating the trees. I’m sad.
I don't trust those M&M characters they have a attitude problem, they've got to be up to something. :-o
