    Sure, but getting that same amount of lead from water as well as each type of food you eat is going to add together.

      Sure, but you can just not eat Hershey bars. It’s really such a trivial concern when compared to the drinking water for entire populations.

        For one, it’s not an either-or thing. Reporting on lead in chocolate isn’t detracting from awareness of lead in water.

        Sure, but you can just not eat Hershey bars.

        And second: that. There’s lead in this chocolate? Okay I won’t eat this chocolate. Lead intake reduced.
