Came in here thinking this was about grown chocolate labs.

I might fukk with lab grown cocoa. Better than having children pick the beans and be enslaved.

This is heinous, rather than just paying farmers a little more.

I want to find chocolate that doesn't use things like palm fat that companies like Cadbury's (Kraft/Mondelez) have been adulterating their products with - but something I can buy in bulk because I eat a lot of chocolate (you are what you eat lol

atm KitKat is my 'basic' bar but I know Nestlé is no better given their numerous scandals.

I spent a silly amount at Hotel Chocolat last month :sadcam:

I found out today about lovecocoa, quite a bit more expensive per kg than Lindt 100g bars so not a good choice for bulk buying. Maybe I should just try Tony's.

It would also be nice to detach myself from Mondelez completely but I have not found (or even really looked for) a replacement for my occasional breakfast biscuits yet. These MNCs have so many faces...

I had a quick read through this as I don't rly trust Insta videos: I tried lab-grown chocolate. Could it be the future of Halloween?

also the startup that is referred to in the video which secured funding is Celleste Bio, from what I can see they are working on making cell-cultured cocoa butter which "could replace the most expensive ingredient in the chocolate-making process as companies navigate long-term supply challenges"
