SALES OF DARK CHOCOLATE UP
Gross sales of dark chocolate are up more than 30 percent this year, according to industry executive Marshall Wilcox. National Chocolate and Confection Association Vice President Wilcox made his announcement at a trade show in Providence on Tuesday. He attributed dark chocolate's rise in popularity to its reported health benefits and Americans' increasing appetite for gourmet foods. Years ago, white chocolate was trendy with milk chocolate gradually replacing it in popularity. Industry experts agree however, that dark chocolate sales will continue to rise and the sales growth is not merely a trend.
Demand for the antioxidant-rich dark chocolate is largely credited to the surge in a more health conscious public. People are getting more concerned about their health, and with consistent studies that support the benefits of eating cacao, tastes are shifting in favor of dark chocolate, said Wilcox.
Increased availability of the product was also cited as a contributing factor for the rise. The National Chocolate and Confection Association meets yearly to discuss the trends in chocolate and confection sales. The conference ended on Thursday.

A New Taste Sensation
By Smith Jackson
We asked recent Wilson School of Business graduate Marcus Jenkins to describe a normal workday as a product innovator at food industry giant Selling Incorporated.
I was hired out of Wilson to be an associate Product Idea Innovator at Selling Inc. I am responsible for creating, tasting, researching and helping to bring to market new food products for Selling.
Management at Selling encourages out-of-the-box thinking and I am constantly challenging myself. On any given day, I could be tasting new products, writing a summary evaluation, presenting a new idea to executives, or working on my own projects.
A Day in the Life
7:15 a.m. I head towards the office. My commute is about forty minutes long, so I try to catch up on my e-mails using my digital organizer. Sometimes I read the newspaper on my way to work.

4. Insulate your water heater.
A cheap and easy way to cut down on heating costs is to insulate your water heater. Not all water heaters need it, but if your water heater is warm to the touch, you could be losing heat. In this case, insulating your water heater will reduce heat loss and can be done without professional help. Self-installation is easy. You can pick up a water heater insulation kit at your local hardware store for about $20. The cost of the kit will be made up with the money you will save on your energy costs.
