Chocolate: worth its weight in gold?
The Independent - 11/9/2010.

By Anthea Gerrie – Fancy a bit of chocolate? An afternoon Kit Kat with your cup of tea? A chunk of fruit and nut? Go on, you've earned it. Except that in the future, chocoholics might have to work quite a bit harder to pay for their fix.
