The Power of the People (who like chocolate)

The FDA has gotten the message that people don't want the definition of chocolate changed. You can read my previous entry on the subject here. The issue was the subject of a Washington Post article today. My favorite quote from a spokesperson for the big evil corporations™:

"We want to emphasize that by co-signing the food industry petition, CMA has not endorsed any particular changes to the standards of identity for chocolate products."

Really? Because I thought that's exactly what the petition was asking for. So you asked for the change but you don't really want it? Maybe we should just drop the matter then. Stupidity.
