Don't Mess with Our Chocolate
Leave it to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to start messing with chocolate, one of life's perfect foods. The Chocolate Manufacturers have petitioned the government 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. Do these people have no shame? Will they be forced to call the new product "milk substitute chocolate?" Got a nice ring, doesn't it?
