Here is a great article on what GMO means.  I think a lot of people don’t know how often their foods are being modified.  I learned from this article that there are no labeling laws on GMO!

On his way around the Navy Pier ferris wheel, Mitch stopped to take a picture with his favorite flavor of NuGo bar; NuGo Family, Milk Chocolate.  This ferris wheel was modeled after the first ferris wheel made in 1893 for the World’s Columbian Exposition.   The ferris wheel provides a great view of Chicago’s City Skyline from above.  It also allows time to munch on a NuGo bar during the 7 minute ride.

People need to remember that chocolate can be healthy for you.  But just like everything else, it needs to be eaten in moderation.  Sites like this, http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/eat-chocolate-and-lose-weight-514604/?posted=1 , state chocolate is healthy. But not all chocolate is created equal and some can even be fake.  Be sure to check all products for REAL Chocolate ingredients.

The biggest problem with the chocolate industry right now is that companies are getting away with not using real chocolate.  Chocolate needs to have a non fat solid (like cocoa powder) and a fat portion: cocoa butter.  Many companies are substituting a cheaper vegetable fat alternative (palm kernel oil or even worse, Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil)for cocoa butter.  At this time, there are no regulations for Dark Chocolate. Our company is petitioning the FDA for an identity for REAL Dark Chocolate.  Join us in our petition and find out more information at www.thetruthaboutrealchocolate.com .
