# I don't get it - are you saying that chocolate is made of poo?
I've eaten chocolate and via unfortunate accident, poo - and I don't think this is right.

In any case, surely if chocolate was made of poo, Cadbury's would have been forced to shut down by now due to health concerns?*

# Well, I wasn't aware of it being where it was
I was aware of what it was pretty quickly though.

I worked at a chocolate plant for a while and you really don't want to know the sort of things that end up in the vats

# Anywhere that has human beings preparing food will always have a certain percentage of "jesus fucking christ, you put *what* in the vat?" moments
I used to work as a baker at Safeway, back when bread was made from flour, water, yeast and "improver*" on the premises. We made the granary bread at the end of the day and threw into it all the bits of dough from the other breads that had fallen down the back of the moulding machine and onto the floor.

*Improver: Lumps of vegetable fat containing additional nutrients, eg, chemicals.

# sorry everyone
Here is a very brief sampling of the FDA's Food Defect Action Level list. They begin investigation when foods reach the action level they've set. According to the FDA, typical foods contain about 10 percent of the action level, but others say they contain more like 40 percent.

CHOCOLATE AND CHOCOLATE LIQUOR

Insect filth: Average is 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams when 6 100-gram subsamples are examined OR any 1 subsample contains 90 or more insect fragments

Rodent filth: Average is 1 or more rodent hairs per 100 grams in 6 100-gram subsamples examined OR any 1 subsample contains 3 or more rodent hairs

# As long as it doesn't make me physically ill, or I cannot identify pieces of insect or rat pubes, I really don't care what I'm eating
I kind of take that into consideration when purchasing any food that isn't prepared by myself.

# No, no you have it wrong
Chocolate is made from Ewan McGregor's poo, which is why it tastes so delicious.
