Mighty Campaigning Organ...

Posted August 5, 2000 12:05 AM.

The Onion is right on the mark again - this time let the chocolate giants feel the wrath of this mighty campaigning organ:

"The five-state class-action suit accused Hershey's of "knowingly and willfully marketing rich, fatty candy bars containing chocolate and other ingredients of negligible nutritional value." The company was also charged with publishing nutritional information only under pressure from the government, marketing products to children, and artificially "spiking" their products with such substances as peanuts, crisped rice, and caramel to increase consumer appeal."
