You do know they remove the coca butter from chocolate and replace it with palm oil? They make more $ that way.

And then there is the chocolate confectionery which is palm oil and god-knows what, but not actual chocolate. Just a chocolate like product. Like blueberries in blueberry muffins that are just colored&flavored gelatin balls. yum.

It's getting harder to eat actual food these days but it can be done, it just costs more.

Just make your own muffins. Super easy, maybe not as much fun, butcatleast they will be real with plump real blueberries.

I should try baking… I just brought back 5lbs of raw jersey milk butter from a farm in Scotland Pennsylvania. It’s so GOOD 😋

Jersey cowa produce milk with A-2 casein protein, which is non-alergenic. Most other cows produce A-1 casein protein which is allergenic and contributes to leaky gut.

I drink only raw milk from grass-pastured (changed every day) Jerseys from a Chambersburg PA farm--delivered weekly to my local Lowes' parking lot. I was aware that you Ca'ians cannot get raw milk, as Ca daughter was here when I discovered this milk option. She was thrilled to have it available, and so we fed her boys milk and milk and milk while they were with us.

Exactly. Only real blueberries in my muffins. Which reminds me...

UK daughter asked what we would like her to bring over: we said chocolate. Enjoying it--and looked at package enjoyed last night (Fin Carre, dark chocolate 50%)--cocoa mass, cocoa butter (sunflower gets in there only as sunflower lecithins for emulsifier).

Why on earth aren't you making your own blueberry muffins? 5# bags of Wyman frozen Maine wild blueberries are in the freezer at the grocery store.

I was making a point about how fake our food is . Besides I can’t bake 🤣.

I was aware of your point. But, baking, like drawing (as my art teacher pointed out), at its base, is just a skill---and anyone can learn to do it.

Agree. It’s really just reading and following directions.
