Keep Your Grubby Fingers Off My Chocolate
April 30, 2007
I don’t mind sharing with the world that I am in the midst of a full-blown hormone attack at present. It’s the kind of hormone attack that comes every 28 days and leaves me slightly cranky and fiending for chocolate.
So when my buddy Mark sent me this link to Don’t Mess with Our Chocolate, I had to pass it along to you guys.
Basically, the price of key chocolate ingredients is going up. To keep chocolate prices stable, the chocolate industry is lobbying the FDA to change the regulations for what they can call “chocolate.”
The problem with this is that I like my chocolate without additives that have nothing to do with chocolate. I’ve made this clear to the FDA and you should do the same.
Just be prepared for chocolate prices to go up once the FDA puts its foot down. Not that I mind. I’d pay $10 for a good bar of the stuff about now.
how long are you going to be at your current address? i need to send you an enligthening book about chocolate!
p.s. a lot of what we call ‘chocolate’ now really isn’t chocolate at all!
the book is called ‘the chocolate connoiseur’ by chloe doutre-roussel
