The federal Food and Drug Administration is proposing to redefine the very essence of chocolate and to allow big manufacturers such as Hershey to sell a bar devoid of a key ingredient — cocoa butter. The butter's natural texture could be replaced with inferior alternatives, such as vegetable fats. And consumers would never know.
Would it taste the same? If so I cant really get too bothered with this.
Actually, some of us eat so much chocolate that we could actually tell the difference! I don't like US chocolate anyway--give me European anyday! Yay for Cadbury's from the UK!
This is SURELY a sign of the last of the last days!!
The big "A" is right here!!

For some of us, it could even make a difference HEALTHwise...... ...unless they were to replace the cocoa butter with olive or canola oil...but it's most likely to be transfats (hydrogenated stuff). For me, this could have disastrous effects ............................... I avoid transfats in my diet in general, and dark chocolate--for me--is like a maintstay.................. This could offset the balance tremendously.......
Bad news--very bad news..............
And consumers would never know.
Trust me - you would notice the difference in flavour!
Cheap, nasty chocolate tastes cheap and nasty!!
