French (Naturally) Scientists Map Genome Of Good Chocolate

IMG_6449

A team of French scientists has cracked the genetic code of Theobroma cacao. Other cacao varieties of tree have had their genomes decoded, but Theobroma is the first from the top drawer. Thus, we can soon expect the manufacture of bio-engineered and disease-resistant cacao that will end up quite probably producing sublime chocolate.

Lesson: if you’re into science, move to France.
