The vast majority of American chocolate sucks compared to options from other countries, especially when they use corn syrup instead of sugar for sweets.
American chocolate only tastes bad to non-americans. American chocolate uses butyric acid, which is present in vomit and rancid butter, so those that are sensitive to it think it tastes disgusting. Americans though are usually used to it because they grew up on it and don't taste it.
Still fuck nestle though for a myriad of other reasons.
It's honestly not that hard. I haven't bought their products in a few years now. There are alternatives for all of these products, many of which are actually better. They just don't have the name recognition.
Yeah. Even a popular infographic someone made a few years ago, which still gets posted, is outdated because of brands changing owners.
I’d like it if companies were legally obligated to prominently display the name of their parent company. Right now, companies are allowed to operate under what are effectively aliases.
Look into craft chocolate. Some of the stuff taste like the chocolate you imagine in your dreams. Milk chocolate can be creamier than you think is possible. The dark chocolates can be incredibly complex. The ingredient list is also much shorter.
It costs more, but it's not unreasonable. They tend to pay the local chocolate produce a much better wage, they often exceed 'fair trade' prices for their raw Coco.
John Oliver actually mentioned Tony's Chocolate by name specifically because they are honest about trying to be slavery free, and they pay their farmers double what the big 5 pay, but even they admit that they cannot guarantee 100% slavery free chocolate.
I wouldn't consider Tony chocolate to be equivalent to craft chocolate. Craft chocolate often has very good traceability. They will be buying there beans from specific farms and processors.
Tony chocolate tries to make mass market low cost high profit product. They absolutely could avoid slavery, they choose not to.
