don't mess with our chocolate
"If some members of the U.S. Chocolate Industry have their way, it will negatively change the quality of chocolate you love. Their plan is 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. These changes will have adverse effects on the eating, physical and nutritional quality of chocolate, and beg the question: What consumer benefit is associated with implementing these changes? The answer is none."

Most chocolate sold in the UK already uses vegetable fat in place of cocoa butter. There was a rumour a few years ago that the EU were going to rule that this stuff be called "vegelate" instead (which I would have supported), but it didn't happen.

Most chocolate bars in the US are made of the same crap. They have to be described as "chocolate-flavored candy" somewhere in small writing on the wrapper.

Ah, that's probably the stuff they call "cacaofantasie" here. Which I think is a very strange name, btw :)

Strange indeed :) My cacao fantasies are somewhat different.
