Vandana's Chocolate extinction leads!

Lead ideas: How chocolate may go extinct in 15-20 years if farming practices aren't improved.

Lead 1.) Rhetorical question or descriptive:
Imagine a world without chocolate. How empty would life feel, not being able to reach out and grab that delicious, delightful, scrumptious bar and shove it down your throat? And it isn’t just one chocolate bar out of our lives. No more brownies, Valentine’s Day, and NO MORE LOVE (okay, maybe not)!

Lead 2.) Narrative:
Field worker Alan, working in his cocoa fields in Ghana, as usual, is collecting the cocoa plants to give to his boss, who will hand them over to the big factories where chocolate is produced, when all of a sudden, he realizes that all the plants in the entire area are slowly dying. His coworkers, too, have realized that the cocoa plants they collected only a week ago look weak-- their leaves brown and their branches withering away into the wind.

Lead 3.) Compare and Contrast:
A hundred years ago, chocolate companies such as Cadbury were booming with business as the world slowly began to learn about its’ delicious taste. If a child got a chocolate bar from his parents, for instance, then it was considered a great reward for him. Now, almost 7,671,233 pounds of chocolate are consumed by people in the U.S. every day. Little do these chocolate lovers know that the wonderful sweet they consume every day is about to be extinct.
