"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."

    No, but nearly everything grown in the ground has some level of toxic substances like that. This came up recently with baby food and lettuce and a bunch of other stuff.

    I’m not really an expert on acceptable levels and most companies don’t have data available anyways, at least not completely, so I figure put my eggs in as many baskets and hope I don’t end up with too much of any one thing.

    Maybe we should all be tested yearly for toxic metals or something.

      Ah that’s what you meant. Yeah, definitely. Eat a diversity of foods and you won’t suffer from a specific food being unknowingly bad for us. There’s probably a study out there saying each and every food is bad for us. Like there’s people that vehemently preach that kale is poison.
