What's the difference between that and humans eating a pizza but not eating the raw ingredients of a pizza? If it's not inedible anymore I don't see the issue...
- shrubble 3y agoNot quite following you... do you mean the difference between cooked and raw, or something else?
- iLoveOncall 3y agoI'm saying that you don't find it distasteful that we add sweeteners to raw cocoa powder to make chocolate edible for humans, so what's distasteful in adding sweeteners to animal feed to make it edible for animals?
- shrubble 3y agoPeople do however eat raw cocoa. And rancid or spoiled food is quite different from 'bitter' food.
- rootusrootus 3y ago> People do however eat raw cocoa That's quite rare. My kid did it once, thinking it was basically chocolate. I really wish I had taken a picture.

- joecool1029 3y agoThey eat unsweetened chocolate (usually marked 100% cacao these days) not so much cocoa powder which has the cocoa butter portion removed. Cocoa powder is pretty rough on its own. Unsweetened chocolate is an amazingly stable food source high in saturated fat which is way more stable and resistant to rancidity than seed oils or milk solids.
