Title: CHOCOLATE -- just had to pass along
Post by: angelsmom10 on Dec 08, 2003, 10:44 AM
CHOCOLATE

** Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean = vegetable.
 
** Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar BEETS.**Both of them are plants, 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.Remember - - - "STRESSED"spelled backward is"DESSERTS"
 Growing old is mandatory. Growing wise is optional."

Other than the calories from the sugar, chocolate is one of the better foods to eat. Contains antioxidents and other good stuff.

I feel it is important to point out in this thread that the average life expectancy of Americans is up substantially from what it was a century ago.  Consider what the dominant change in our diet is Preservatives.  Yes, preservatives.  If monosodiumlactisorbate can keep potato chips fresh for 50 years, imagine what it can do for you!
