Default Save Our Chocolate

http://dontmesswithourchocolate.guittard.com/

>From Slashdot: ""The US Food and Drug Administration is considering

redefining 'chocolate' to allow substitution of vegetable oil ($0.70/
lb.) for cocoa butter ($2.30/lb.), and whey protein for dry whole
milk. There are already standard terms to differentiate these products
from chocolate, such as 'chocolatey' and 'chocolate-flavored.' The
change was requested by the industry group Chocolate Manufacturers of
America. Leading the resistance to this change is high-end chocolate
maker Guittard, with significant grass-roots support from the
Candyblog. The FDA is taking consumer comments until April
25" (tomorrow).
