Too bad they don't point out the only way to avoid all danger in life is to die. Everyone else is going to die, sometime.

To live, is by definition, to be in danger.

There was a story the other day about someone who took those Ferrero-Rocher Chocolate candy balls out of the wrappers and replaced them with chocolate dipped BRUSSEL SPROUTS!.............

Now that’s a high crime right there.

Brussels sprouts are horrid little things. I don’t care how people prepare them; they’re gross. Not even bacon can save Brussels sprouts. 😖

Trader Joe’s makes some amazing dark chocolate peanut butter cups. I’ll risk the heavy metals.

Consumers Reports was founded by Commies(Consumers Union) in 1936. Take their reviews with a big grain of salt. Bought some products they recommended highly in the early 90’s. They were crap. Never trusted them again.

They’ve taken “donations” for years from who they are reviewing. Completely “voluntary” of course.

I think you’re confusing Cadbury with cad berry. Pretty sure cadmium is made out of cad berries.

CANDY AND COOKIE MAKING time. FDA has been sending out more than average food recalls, lettuce and hamburger have seen the highest recalls, and some spotty dairy mainly local cheeses. This is not the 1st recall, had one at Halloween.

They miss the Junk food people are hooked on. I follow the recalls as I have a gastro condition that food affects. Can’t take too many of those painful attacks, with no pain meds.

I belatedly clicked on the Consumer Guide link, and they posted all the specific candy bars, with photos of the wrappers.

Dark chocolate appears to be a rather exclusive and expensive item.

Most chocolate candy is milk chocolate, which apparently dilutes cadmium and lead below the current danger level.

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

Noting that it was up to each original American colony to inspect its own exported goods, not only did the states reserve for themselves the power of inspecting products before leaving a state, but the Supreme Court has historically clarified that this inspection power is unique to the states.

The bottom line concerning government product warnings is this imo. I'd take warnings about heavy metal in dark chocolate for example, more seriously if many state inspection departments were independently expressing concern about heavy metal in dark chocolate instead of the corrupt, untrusted, unconstitutionally big federal government that doesn't have the express constitutional power to inspect commerce goods in the first place.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
