Big Business does a lot of underhanded things, but now they've gone too far! The Chocolate Manufacturers Association, an industry group whose members include Hershey and Nestle, are trying to get the US government to redefine what constitutes chocolate.Instead of cocoa butter and cocoa solids -- the true ingredients in chocolate -- the giant food conglomerates want to use "artificial sweeteners, milk substitutes, and vegetable fats such as hydrogenated and trans fats." according to an online article. The proposed substitutes are, of course, less expensive.
There is a web site leading the charge against this blasphemy. It's called Don't Mess with Our Chocolate. Go there to find out how to register your objections with the Food and Drug Administration.
