Chocolate is a Vegetable: Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean =
vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both
are plants, which place them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate
is a vegetable.
To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which
is a dairy product. So candy bars are a health food. Chocolate-covered raisins,
cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as
many as you want.
If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it
too slowly.
The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a
hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.
Diet Tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off
your appetite, and you'll eat less. (There are no guarantees on how this will affect
your waist line though.)
If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a
balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other? Don't tell me. I want to believe that they do.
Chocolate has many preservatives. Will these preservatives make me look younger or fresher?
Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That
way, at least you'll get one thing done.
A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of
calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy?
If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose.
An entire garment industry would be devastated. You can't let that
happen, can you?
REMEMBER: "Stressed" spelled backward is "desserts" - so if you are feeling stressed, try some desserts.
