I've heard this! I have been buying raw chocolate at Whole Foods, and sweetening with Stevia. Yum! But they should not mess with chocolate standards. Is there nothing left untouched by the FDA?Cyndi

A quick note from About.com - The US Food and Drug Administration is considering a petition to change the "standard of identity" of chocolate sold in the US. Basically, chocolate manufacturers are lobbying for looser ingredient standards. They want to be able to use hydrogenated vegetable fats in place of cocoa butter, and milk substitutes in place of real milk, and still call their product "chocolate." To find out how you can help go here. We only have until June 25th, so check it out soon!
