Some Chocolate Thoughts

There is strong evidence that replacing desserts with good chocolate can actually help weight loss and diabetes.

"Chocolate makes otherwise normal people melt into strange states of ecstasy" - John West Chocolate seems to have a special power unlike that of any other food. Chemists are still not certain what is in the composition

  of chocolate that makes it quite so irresistible to so many people. To say that consuming chocolate can become an addiction

  is not an exaggeration, chocolate contains a natural amphetamine that stimulates the nervous system to produce a feeling of

  well-being.

A man found a bottle washed upon the shore. When he opened it a genie popped out who gave him three wishes. He wished for a million dollars and poof... there was a million dollars. Then he wished for a convertible and poof... there was a convertible. Lastly, he wished he could be irresistible to all women and poof... he turned into a box of chocolates. Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you like. Chocolate doesn't make the world go around ... but it certainly makes the ride worthwhile! I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter! As with most fine things, chocolate has its season. There is a simple memory aid that you can use to determine whether it is the correct time to order chocolate dishes: any month whose name contains the letter A, E, or U is the proper time for chocolate. ~Sandra Boynton Chocolate is ground from the beans of happiness. ~Alexis F.
