Who cares, you can get proper 100% chocolate (organic, fair trade, blah...) easily from Zotter, if you want it. It doesn't really matter what Nestle comes up with next, people who eat that stuff don't care about such details.
if they can still get their fix without all the excess calories; sugar isn't the worst thing; then please, encourage it more.
now just slip some fiber in there to make people feel full
Also, people who consume the more "healthier" versions of soft drinks like Diet Coke or Coke Zero, they tend to over do it because they think they're it's affecting them less.
I've always thought as long as you're gonna be bad then do it right.
No point in consuming a neutered version of something bad when you've made up your mind to be bad.
Why is healthier in quotes? Why do you believe artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and splenda have negative health impacts? Gut feeling? Please post a peer reviewed study done on humans.
I'm curious. What is your position on climate change, vaccines or GMOs? Do you follow scientific consensus by looking for peer reviewed studies, or wing it either way based on your gut feel and facebook memes?

There's lots more, but your ability to google is every bit as good as mine.
Folks skeptical of artificial sweeteners are not anti-science morons. Man-made climate change is real, vaccines are one of the great accomplishments of civilization, and the science is promising but not fully settled on GMOs.
Consuming artificial sweeteners is almost certainly healthier than consuming the sugar they replace, but that doesn't actually make them _healthy_.
Similarly, people also drive more recklessly when using seatbelts, but they still save lives.
