Can't eat Beef, Mad cow....

Can't eat chicken . bird flu

Can't eat eggs ... Salmonella

Can't eat pork ... fears that bird flu will infect piggies

Can't eat fish ... heavy metals in the waters has poisoned their meat

Can't eat fruits and veggies ... insecticides and herbicides

Hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that leaves CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!

Chocolate is a Vegetable!

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"

Fellow chocoholics unite!

I keep my stash of chocolate baking chips in the freezer...he he...

. I like them frozen...a small handful will ward off a deadly chocolate craving fairly quickly! Having to untie/retie the twistie each time makes it less likely I will get back into it TOO soon.

 

[TheButtercup]

the only reason i need to eat chocolate is...because it's there! LOL

not only is chocolate good for you, as per the reasons traci listed....but so is beer, because, well, who doesnt love barley and hops?! and for those who ever talk about all the "chemicals" in our foods and beverages now...without hydrogen and oxygen...two VITAL ingredients in beer ("chemicals" also, according to my chemistry teachers!! i'll take their word for it, i think i was asleep that semester...)....we would have no beer. therefore, chemicals in my beverages are just fine.

That reminds me of a friend that I work with...his wife got pregnant with their 4th child. He has one in 8th grade, one in 2nd grade, one is 15 months, and she got pregnant again. I jokingly asked him if he knew what caused that condition...he told me he did

...and that he knew what caused "beer belly" too, but he wasn't gonna give that up either!

I died! I thought it was so quick and funny! It shut me up real fast, even though I was just joking with him.

I try not to think about the "bad" stuff in things like chocolate, beer, margaritas, polish sausages, diet colas, etc...I have one life...I am gonna enjoy it while I am here!

I may kick the bucket 5-10 years sooner, but at least the years I had were enjoyable!

You are so so right about that!!!!! :lol:

 

[Carol Ann]

Chocolate covered frozen bananas on a stick are THE BOMB! And speaking of "healthy foods" - hubby and I just devoured a triple order of authentic Buffalo Wings, something that up till now was not available here. I am happy to report that the Buffalo chicken wings were swiftly and satisfyingly followed up by Thin Mint chasers. Life is good! NOW, if I could only get my hands on real Taylor Ham, I'd be ecstatic. Taylor Ham on a hard roll with melted cheese! White Castle hamburgers! Sigh....gotta fly back east real soon..............

 

[Elegant]

I don't think I ever feel about about eating chocolate...I love Almond Rocha and Godiva...

I am excited for Easter... a cold beer and a slice of pizza or a burger sounds SO GOOD (that's not what we eat on Easter, but I gave up beer for Lent).
