I created a petition on Change.org that will, if successful, lead to a citizen petition to the FDA asking them to keep the standards of identity for chocolate tied to tree-grown cacao.
I will be hosting an episode of PodSaveChocolate to discuss the petition in the next ten days.
In the meantime, please view the petition, add your signature, and share it with colleagues and friends today!
