I ate a chunky bar the other night, because you know, sadness, and then went for a run a while later. A mile or so in my kidneys started to hurt. I can't say it was for sure the chunky bar but they haven't hurt like that before or since. What type of villainous corporate hack poisons the thing that's supposed to be the small escape of joy?
Also, Chunky is Nestle but still my bias says poison. I'm prepared to now receive your insults for liking Chunky bars.
The common thread seems to be the concentration of cocoa solids, since all the concerning products had greater levels (dark chocolate, powders, etc). The Chucky bar being milk chocolate should be fine, per the article.
They're not fine, if it's Nestlé.
If you are taking about supporting a particularly flagrant bad corporate actor, then I agree. If about the safety of the milk chocolate, then the article indicates otherwise.
