Just in time for the holiday season, hot chocolate has been found to contain Melamine, the substance found in cow's milk that is said to cause death in high quantities. One more good reason to have a vegan holiday this year.

COOKING TIP: Try heating up a cup of chocolate soy on the stove and put in a vegan candy cane to stir. I've been living off this stuff for weeks.
