I'm not a great eater of chocolate myself nowadays but I used to eat quite a lot. Some very clever people have found a way to use more of the cocoa fruit:

Swiss chocolate: Scientists cut waste and sugar

The whole of the cocoa fruit is used in production, rather than just the beans.

My sister-in-law in particular will be delighted.

A cynic (who, me?) might say food scientists discover new way to Make Things Worse and extract more profit from a crop.

That’s my thoughts as well.

I will however continue to eat more chocolate. Tonys now up to £3.50 a bar :mad:

Yes, quite.

Then spin it to the general masses as something positive and watch (most) people believe it.

Or - and bear with me for a spin you're not familiar with - this could just be good news and we could take it that way instead of amplifying negatives?

Chin up, folks! It's not always bad
