Another reason to refrain from eating the joke that is known as Hershey's chocolate!

Did you know that Hersheys and Nestle and other big companies are trying to pass legislation to lower the amount of cocoa in it to actually be called chocolate and not chocolate flavored? Write your legislators.

Why can't the world just get it's sh** together and stop taking shortcuts with what they eat? It's real simple. Stop with the fertilizers, stop with the fast food, grow a little in your back yard or on your balcony, eat, drink, and be merry!
Cheers to France for trying to preserve their ways...at least someone is championing food... (even though, I agree that they should be trying to champion French agriculture over french cuisine, per se).
As for Hersheys, see if they ever get my business again... or that of many others. This is the beginning of the end of their popularity.

Hershey's is not chocolate now. How will it be any more than chocolate-flavored if they take out the cocoa butter?

Hershey's is chocolate the way the stuff coming out of the rear end of my cat is chocolate. They're both the same color, and they both taste like crap.
