Who cares, you can get proper 100% chocolate (organic, fair trade, blah...) easily from Zotter, if you want it. It doesn't really matter what Nestle comes up with next, people who eat that stuff don't care about such details.
In the US, I would argue that it is significantly easier to get Nestle chocolate than Zotter chocolate at grocery stores. The amount that the average person cares about the sugar content does not outweigh the extra effort required to acquire Zotter chocolate... Nestle is ubiquitous.
there are many great places to buy the world's chocolates from (my favorite is chocosphere) however for many it is what they will see in the check out lane or quickie mart that matters.
if they can still get their fix without all the excess calories; sugar isn't the worst thing; then please, encourage it more.
now just slip some fiber in there to make people feel full
Totally agree. I don't see the point in cutting sugar from this stuff or soft drinks like Coke and Pepsi. People drinking this stuff have already made up their mind that they don't care about healthy eating.
Also, people who consume the more "healthier" versions of soft drinks like Diet Coke or Coke Zero, they tend to over do it because they think they're it's affecting them less.
I've always thought as long as you're gonna be bad then do it right.
No point in consuming a neutered version of something bad when you've made up your mind to be bad.
I disagree, you're painting people with too broad a brush. Many of my colleagues drink a Coke once or twice a week when we go out to lunch as a team, and they aren't drinking two just because they now order a Zero instead. This is a real reduction in sugar consumption.
Similarly, people also drive more recklessly when using seatbelts, but they still save lives.
Please provide ANY proof that Coke Zero or Diet Coke is bad in any way. Post a study.
Why is healthier in quotes? Why do you believe artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and splenda have negative health impacts? Gut feeling? Please post a peer reviewed study done on humans.
I'm curious. What is your position on climate change, vaccines or GMOs? Do you follow scientific consensus by looking for peer reviewed studies, or wing it either way based on your gut feel and facebook memes?
There's lots more, but your ability to google is every bit as good as mine.
Folks skeptical of artificial sweeteners are not anti-science morons. Man-made climate change is real, vaccines are one of the great accomplishments of civilization, and the science is promising but not fully settled on GMOs.
Consuming artificial sweeteners is almost certainly healthier than consuming the sugar they replace, but that doesn't actually make them _healthy_.
