Don't Mess With Our Chocolate!

If you love good coffee, you probably love good chocolate. They are very similar in that they both inspire passion in their devotees. They taste good, make us feel good, and have beneficial health benefits. Some members of the U.S. chocolate industry want the FDA to change rules that would allow other vegetable fats to substitute for cocoa butter. Good idea? I think not. What can you do about it? Go to the website linked below and send your message to the FDA.


"Through the years, consumers have had a passionate love affair with chocolate. Chocolate is an indulgence that everyone can afford, and it provides comfort, pleasure and happiness. It truly is one of the worlds most unique and special foods.

However, if some members of the U.S. Chocolate Industry have their way, it will negatively change the quality of chocolate you love. Their plan is to change the basic formula of chocolate in order to use vegetable fat substitutes in place of cocoa butter, and to use milk substitutes in the place of nutritionally superior milk. These changes will have adverse effects on the eating, physical and nutritional quality of chocolate, and beg the question: What consumer benefit is associated with implementing these changes? The answer is none."
