The "evil" chocolate industry

If tobacco products are packaged with compulsory warning sign such as "Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health," the chocolate industry seems to follow (although I think, it is not required to have such thing). Look what I found strategically placed on the back of the Hershey's Extra Dark:

"The natural antioxidants found in tea and certain fruits like berries and grapes can also be found in Hershey's Extra Dark. This is good news; however, like most indulgent treats, Hershey's Extra Dark should be enjoyed in moderation. A serving of Hershey's Extra Dark Cranberries, Blueberries & Almonds is 3 blocks (37 g) and has 200 calories and 12 g of fat."

It helps a bit. I was tempted to have a second serving, or to hell with it, the whole bar, but I just stopped.
