The FDA is considering a rules change to allow chocolate to be made with vegetable oil in place of cocoa butter and whey protein for whole dry milk...

Oh goodie. Another incentive for businesses to buy cheap tainted protein from China so that we can all be poisoned like the cats and dogs. However, vegetable oil chocolate will taste like crap, so this market solution implements itself by driving customers to good candy.

That is just a BAD THING on so many levels! :{

I think I've got a torch 'n' pitch fork around here somewhere...

One more reason to read labels. It may take me longer to go grocery shopping, but I make sure my juice is 100% fruit juice, and now I'll have to make sure my chocolate actually contains cocoa butter. You'd be surprised at what is actually in some products. Not all whole wheat breads contain primarily whole wheat flour. There are lots of other surprises on various labels.

Well, that depends on whether it looks, walks, and quacks like a duck. I suspect enough people can tell the difference that they'll not want the two to be conflated.
