Fuckers are going to go after coffee next, just you wait and see.

Theo all the way, baby.

Head to Chocolopolis, get some Chuao. You'll thank me.

Somehow it cost $14.95! The world has gone mad!

i actually have a crush on the fda. sometimes i take things like ingredient lists and nutrition labels for granted, but imagine the crap that would be in our supermarkets today if the fda didn't mandate these things. instead of vegetable oil hershey's would be using concentrated anthrax (if it was cheaper and fattier, anyway).

once the election's over, donate a couple bucks to the center for science in the public interest, who almost single-handedly fights evil corporate food lobbyists.

People do buy things that kill them. And that's why regulation was instituted in the first place.

The FDA has a very good purpose but marketing semantics shouldnt be one of them, nor should we pretend like the FDA is a ball busting behemoth non beholden to big business.

Seriously this sort of semantics is something hardcore free marketers can get behind. There is a lot about informed consumers in capitalist dogma.

If you say your meatless patty has mushrooms in it you don't to just decide what a mushroom is. I do get to decide whether I care about the difference between a mushroom and a fungus.

It's made in Seattle in the Fremont neighborhood, so when you do that, the money goes back in the local economy.

The only way to ensure that your chocolate dollars aren't exploiting people is to buy Fair Trade chocolate. Find sources here:

I will lobby all of my factory worker contacts for a revolt.

So sad...

Also, I have a feeling that vegetable oil will give people the shits.

I used to eat Hershey's holiday candy - Valentine's and Halloween - because it's the only time it's fresh and actually tastes good.

i was exaggerating about companies adding concentrated anthrax to foods, but companies certainly would add many dangerous ingredients to foods as long as you didn't immediately drop dead from eating them. in the 1800's and early 1900's food companies would add dirt and such as fillers.

I had actually picked up a Mr. Goodbar today before reading this article - and please pass on the Finding Mr. Goodbar jokes. Anyway, it was horrid. The texture was waxy and there was a distinct off taste to the chocolate. I'm not going to dismiss Hershey, but I will be looking at the labels and making sure I have the good stuff. I'll drop 'em by the side of the road when it's all crap, then probably hang myself.
