Chocolate

chocoateaztec_funny.jpg
What can I say about chocolate? I can say its ambrosia. The food of the ancient gods, worthy of sacrifice. The food that makes you feel human when the world is falling down around you. It can make you feel loved when are down in the dumps. It can make you instant friends. It can make you my friend. I love chocolate. Mind you, I don�t eat large amounts, but as a treat, its heavenly.



Activities planned at the MIT Laboratory for Chocolate Science. I bet the geeks who work there have NO problem picking up women!

Diet Tips (lifted from Wulfweard)

If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as frchocolatepatch.jpguit, so eat as many as you want.

Problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the shops in hot car. Solution: Eat it in the car park.

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.

A nice box of chocolates provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?

If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

Equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate is a balanced diet.

The preservatives in chocolate make you look younger.

Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?
A. Because no one wants to quit.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

The "Hoohah" bar is great. Not as good as the real thing, but very good for being a sports/energy/nutrition bar. I bought them to help with my chocolate cravings while being on Weight Watchers. I eat one for breakfast (6 points) and it curbs my appetite. I recommend it!
