The FDA is going to change the qualifications for what can be called Chocolate.
FDA Change: http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/dockets/07p0085/07p-0085.htm
The proposed change, which was suggested by the Chocolate Manufacturers of America http://www.chocolateusa.org/About-Us/, is to change 'chocolate' to allow substitution of vegetable oil ($0.70/lb.) for cocoa butter ($2.30/lb.) and, and whey protein for dry whole milk. There are terms such as "chocolate flavored" and "chocolaty" which already accommodate this.
The opposition is "don't mess with my chocolate" http://dontmesswithourchocolate.guittard.com/ They can explain more than I will.
The FDA is taking public comments on this issue. Please refer to the following link to comment, hopefully to save the dignity of what is chocolate.
