...the current FDA standard for chocolate says it must contain cacao
fat -- a.k.a. cocoa butter -- and this proposal would make it

possible
to call something chocolate even if it had vegetable oil instead of
that defining ingredient.


As seen... in Europe. 2 years ago, IIRC. So, now, one has to check all
the ingredients to know whether he's buying chocolate or crap.


If you are failing to check ingredients then your are neglecting
to remember the famous axiom of modern life "let the buyer beware".
