> Cadbury Jr.’s newest confection loaded just about every buzzy health trend into a fresh green-and-white package: vegan, ethically sourced, organic dark chocolate and creamy, superfood avocado.
Hardly incompatible with it being candy. Avocado is super fat, chocolate is super fat. What did you expect? Also fat and even "candy" are not synonymous with unhealthy.
Sidebar: my first thought upon seeing the title: there isn't even that much chocolate in a Mars bar.
- sp332 9y agoYeah that's exactly what the article says two sentences later.
- norswap 9y agoI think it says exactly the opposite. > Wait, what? Make no mistake: This vegan avocado chocolate bar is candy. With nearly 600 calories and 43 grams of fat per 100-gram serving, the bar packs more fat and calories than Cadbury Dairy Milk, and just a little less sugar. > So how in the world could a chocolate bar be convincingly sold as a health food? You can thank a decades-long effort by the chocolate industry. I say candy (some, not stuff with lots of refined sugar) & fat can be healthy (in moderate doses, obviously).
- emodendroket 9y agoThe latest research seems to claim that fat has been unfairly maligned and you should actually be eating more of it.
- sp332 9y agoAn extra 600 calories from whatever source is not going to be healthy.
