  I've been buying Green & Blacks 85% chocolate for ages now.  I prefer the 100% stuff, but it's 3-4x more expensive, and I can live with eating 15g of sugar now and again.  But not any more.  Because they've  
  started adding WHOLE MILK POWDER to it.  You know, the stuff that comes from cows to make MILK chocolate.

  I couldn't believe my eyes, but it's even on their website

  I'm milk intolerant, so I'm fanatical about avoiding dairy products (although after 4 years, I expect my body's reaction to milk has died down a bit).

  I've checked, and they now put milk in all their dark chocolate. WHY????  Is it because it's addictive ( not like chocolate of  course :) )?  Or is there another reason?

  I used to think of G&B as a model of food production*, clearly now they are under new management (well, not that new), that has gone out of the window

  * they've always used soya, but very few chocolate manufacturers don't  
  - Lindt doesn't, but they don't do organic
