You know I'm not usually the political type, and my opinion on the issues is my own business. I also don't believe in on-line petitions or pushing people into political action. However, sometimes a cause comes along that makes you break those rules, as it is so important it demands your attention.
The sleazy chocolate industry is lobbying congress to "relax" what can be called chocolate.
Please let congress know that you don't want the manufacturers lower the quality of a product that represents love and happiness to millions of americans. If you love your family, if you love children, if you care about puppies, believe in god, and don't hate the US of A, please sign this petition to preserve the heritage of chocolate.

Anyone worried about the lowering of the quality in Hershey and Nestle (the two behind the lobby) products has got their priorities out of wack. Their stuff is around %10 cocoa now, and shouldn't even be considered chocolate to begin with.

Seriously, Hershey chocolate is brown chalk

I figured it was so much paraphin you could put a wick in it you'd have a candle.

What if you just like puppies and chocolate?

Neat! Full of puns...owie.
I guess with everyone already getting into snooty botique chocolates there really isn't a danger. So what if a whatchamacallit is made with lard or schmeck oil (tm) instead of cocao.

Amazing how bad my spelling is.
