Over at cnn.com I saw this link about chemists lowering the fat content of choclate.
http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/14/chemists-create-chocolate-with-half-the-fat/
Which I think is a good thing, chocolate has some very good benefits to those who can ingest it safely (some folks with allergies are unfortunately not able to partake) but a high calorie count is not one of them. It is funny to me that the intersection of food and chemistry has gotten so much press lately, but I think I only notice that because of my education.

AM,
You inadvertantly brought up one of the many groups that'll really take a serious hit if the current structure collapses,: People w/ food allergies. They & others w/ terminal defects will be glaring examples of the harsh reality contained in the phrase 'killing w/ kindness'.
The cull's going to be big.

People with food allergies, insulin dependent diabetics, anti-psychotic medication takers, anyone with a weakened immune system (cancer, AIDS, etc), anyone who gets an injury that requires competent medical care, those requiring supplemental oxygen, those on blood thinners. The list goes on.
Modern life is pretty good, however the "collapse" could be a more "Cuba" than "Mad Max" but I'm hedging my bets.
