Honk if you love chocolate

While browsing the official Facebook Group for Jono Brockman, Member at Large candidate in the upcoming SFSS election, I came upon this choice paragraph:

"And finally, to address the concerns of the chocolate lovers out there, I feel your pain when I see those bars go up to $1.50 a piece, outrageous! As your Member at Large I will ensure that the SFSS explores the possibility of buying chocolate in bulk and selling it ourselves at a reduced rate, forcing those vending machines to drop their prices or go out of business!"

Whaaaaaaa!?

The price of chocolate bars has become an issue? Granted, it was last in a series of election promises, but, come on, chocolate bars? Seriously?

And it's not just Brockman that's concerned about the rising price of campus confectioneries. Jason Town, SFSS presidential candidate, has also made a promise to put an end to the rising cost of tuition chocolate. From his Facebook group:

"8. Reduce the price of chocolate bars and other food in vending machines
a. Establish SFSS vending machines at reduced prices
i. Preferably with ‘healthy’ options: ie. granola bars, etc."

*sigh*

Two thoughts:

1. Is it the role of a student society to supply the student body with cheap snacks?
   
2. Should we trust the student society with yet another business venture?

Perhaps chocolate bar profits could help subsidize the cost of running the student pub?

p.s. It's the second-to-last day to vote for us in the VFM contest, so please vote if you haven't already!
