EATING comfort food at home and, if all else fails, gorging on chocolate seem to be the simplest ways for consumers to lighten the mood in the dark days of recession. Revenues grew in 2008 at both Kraft Foods, an American giant, and the latest morsel that it wants to gobble up, Cadbury, a British confectioner. The slump-defying strength of Kraft convinced it to make a £10.2 billion ($16.7 billion) cash-and-shares bid for Cadbury, which it made public on Monday September 7th in the hope that Cadbury's shareholders might see sense in the proposal. The board of the British maker of chocolate and gum quickly rebuffed the bid as “fundamentally undervaluing” the company.
