A plot against chocolate!

My Smart Bitches title
Is nothing sacred?  There is apparently a move afoot to pressure the FDA to change the standard for "pure chocolate" to allow all kinds of crap substituting for real milk and real cocoa butter.  This is an issue at many levels, not just for chocolate lovers, but for people concerned about food allergies and religious dietary laws.

There's a petition, sponsored by a chocolate company, you can email to the FDA opposing these changes.  Go here for information.

They'll get my bittersweet when they pry it from my cold, dead, sticky fingers.
