"I myself became devoted to the 82 percent cacao extra-dark bar, with its unctuous mouth feel and fruity, acidic punch." - From magazine writer Arthur Lubow's Sunday op-ed on his favorite chocolate bar, "My Chocolate Meltdown."
"Lately more people have begun to express an interest in where the meat they eat comes from and how it was raised. Were the animals humanely treated?
