"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." --Dante Alighieri, Inferno I'm eating semi-sweet chocolate mini chips right out of the bag. Bought at my American-owned neighborhood market. Manufactured by Ghirardelli Chocolate, San Leandro, California in the good ol' USA. Thanks, Ghirardelli. The cacao bean essence of your chips melts in my mouth. I stop, do a little online checking, and discover two things: First, Ghirardelli Chocolate--home of San Francisco's tourist-packed Ghirardelli Square--is no longer an American company. It was bought in 1998 by Lindt and Sprungli, a Swiss company. Second, chocolate is made from cacao beans, typically imported from many places on the globe, none of them in the USA. This would be fine. Not indigenous to this country? Pass the Guittard's. American company. Sells chocolate in grocery stores everywhere. Whew.
