Cacao Genome Sequenced -- New Chocolate Dangers Ahead!

Mars, Inc., announced that it has successfully sequenced the Cacao tree genome, and the sequence will be released into the public domain.  That way, anybody in the world would be able to develop new disease-resistant plants or create chocolates with even more flavinoids.

However, this also leaves the world wide-open to new, insidious forms of terrorism.  Some cacao plants could be genetically engineered to be lethal to certain populations!  Blue-eyed people could be rendered extinct within a couple of years!

Wake up, people!  And keep a close eye on the chocolate milk your kids get at school!
