Chocolate [/b]
Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. A bean is a vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable.
To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy. 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 tips:
Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less.
If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don t they actually counteract each other?
Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.
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?

OOOOOH! Yeah! Go to a health food market sometime and pick up some Paul Newman brand chocolate bars!!!! I swear to you, those organic brands and health food brands can outdo, outrival, and win the chocolate taste test of the century! You MUST try them!!!! www.chocophile.com/www.newworldchocolatesociety.com/Chocolate quotes: Friends don't let friends ... ... eat bad chocolate. -- Anonymous Men, Coffee, and Chocolate ... ... are all better rich. -- Anonymous, text found on a needlework pillow "If you are not feeling well, if you have not slept ... ... chocolate will revive you. But you have no chocolate! I think of that again and again! My dear, how will you ever manage?” -- Marquise de Sevigne (French writer and lady of fashion; Feb, 1677) "Look, there's no metaphysics ... ... like chocolate.” -- Fernando Pessoa, Portuguese Poet (1888-1935) "The superiority of chocolate ... ... [hot chocolate], both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain. . .” -- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), 3rd US President, Democrat Thursday, June 10, 2004 Adventure: Paris - The City of Chocolate Although more commonly known as the City of Lights, the Yellow Pages for the city of Paris contain nearly two full pages of listings for confiseries et chocolateries, organized alphabetically by arrondissement. Even this lengthy list is not complete (several very well-known players are not included), often because they are best known for their pastries and not their chocolates and are therefore in another part of the directory. Complete or no, one thing the Yellow Pages can’t tell you is which of these chocolatiers is worth visiting. There is a truism in Paris that “you can’t get a bad meal.” That may be true, but it is possible to get mediocre meals (I had several, unfortunately), and it is possible to get mediocre chocolate. Although this trip was meant to be a family holiday, I did plan to visit as many top chocolate spots as possible, asking friends, colleagues, and complete strangers to make recommendations.

You mean there is something just as creamy as Dove AND it's healthy? Come on! Now I'll definitely HAVE to go and find one of them! And those chocolate sites are hysterial! Great find. Everyone always makes a big deal about Godiva chocolate, I like that brand ok, but there still is NOTHING like a Dove chocolate bar!
