- aksss 3y agoYeah it seemed that going out of way to source from most artisanal producer in exotic locations may correlate with higher levels? Not strictly true but seemed like a correlative trend in my quick pass through results. Maybe the guy growing cacao in the roadside ditch in the valley watershed needs some of that fair trade money, but soil quality may not be highest concern.
- waveBidder 3y agoThose … are all corporate knock-offs of co-ops. what did you expect?
- civilitty 3y agoBetter quality control?
- sarchertech 3y agoNewmans Own isn’t a corporate knock off of a co-op. It’s corporation started by Paul Newman that donates all of its profits to charity.
- waveBidder 3y agofair, Newman's is usually pretty good about this stuff.
- e40 3y agoYeah, pretty depressing, since 85% cacao (just a small amount) really helps keep my sweet tooth in check.
