Don't Touch My Chocolate
The FDA is considering regulations that would let chocolate manufacturers substitute any vegetable oil for the cacao butter that makes chocolate chocolate. That just ain't right.
Sure, you can make something that approximates chocolate without cacao butter (e.g. Whoppers), but it's not really the same thing.
At a time when the health-chocolate coalition tells us that more cacao is better for you (i.e. the darker the better), why is the FDA allowing zero-cacao to be included in what they deem chocolate?
Hmph.

Why is the FDA regulating chocolate in the first place? Do they assume that we consumers are so dumb that we cannot taste the difference between Whoppers and Neuchatel Swiss Chocolate?
