It is time the truth about chocolate be told.
The Rules for Chocolate
Author unknown
If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.
Clearly, chocolate is a vegetable. Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. A bean is a vegetable. Wait! There's more! Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. QED: chocolate is a vegetable.
Chocolate-covered raisins, -cherries, -orange slices and -strawberries all count as fruit. Eat as many as you want. Fruits are an important part of the Food Pyramid.
Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off Your appetite and you'll eat less.
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.
Money talks. Chocolate sings.
Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Therefore, chocolate is therapeutic.
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. Isn't that handy?
If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?
Now, according to these rules, I see nothing wrong with chocolate.

Researchers have found that chocolate contains natural substances, called flavanoids, which help protect against heart disease and certain cancers.
Chocolate contains antioxidants, which lowers cholesterol, and it has been found to boost serotonin levels, which helps ward off depression.

I wonder what inspired this new Disney T-shirt? "I'm right. You're wrong. Any Questions?"

Lies, all lies. Just propaganda. You probably believe what the tobacco companies say as well! Chocolate = death.

Has anyone noticed that Robb's personality has changed since he started using the current avatar? I think an intervention might be in order.
