DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY BRANDS OF CHOCOLATE THAT DON'T CONTAIN STEARIC ACID?
Stearic Acid—It may sound less gross than "lard," but stearic acid, which often rears its ugly head in chocolate and vitamins, comes from a fatty substance taken from slaughtered pigs’ stomachs—or from cows, sheep, or dogs and cats euthanized in animal shelters. Still want to chew on that piece of Fido?

I thought eveyone should know (although you probably don't want to-in such cases ignorance is bliss!)that most chocolate contain stearic acid,so if you're a chocolate addict who thinks their leading a committed vegetarian life-style, think again!
Again,does anyone know any brands of chocolate that don't contain stearic acid??? I'm one of those chocolate addicts!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
