I am 60, I am #Vegan, and I just learned how to make chocolate from scratch.

This has been kept from us. It is eye-blinkingly easy. The effort : reward ratio is beyond what you can imagine, because everything you can imagine starts and ends with chocolate.

Nestlé, Hershey, Mars you motherfuckers, now I know Kung Fu.

Edit: Adding the recipe I started with. Sorry I didn’t put it here in the first place, we learn. https://www.asaucykitchen.com/homemade-chocolate-with-cocoa-butter/#mv-create-recipe

@shram86 @goodthinking do you know what the appeal to futility fallacy is?

@gqlen @goodthinking Not what Im doing here. All action is good action.

Do you know what slacktivism is? Are you insisting that only knowing half the picture is fine as long as you post about it on social media?

@shram86 @goodthinking I think we both agree that what happens in the chocalate industry are abhorrent, but the claim “you can’t avoid all evil” is a loaded statement that literally implies futility. Hence the word “can’t”. And also, posting food you made on social media isn’t inherently slacktivism because you’re vegan.
