Off topic: Stressed? Have some chocolate! Thread poster: Kemal Mustajbegovic

Chocolate is a vegatable.
It\'s 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... See more Chocolate is a vegatable.

Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
And remember ... \"STRESSED\" spelled backward is ... \"DESSERTS\".
Enjoy! Have a nice weekend everyone! ▲ Collapse | | |

Diet Rules For Happy People
1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are cancelled out by the diet soda.
3. When you eat with someone else, calories don\'t count if you don\'t eat more than they do.
4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER count, such as hot chocolate... See more Diet Rules For Happy People

4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER count, such as hot chocolate, brandy, toast and Sara Lee Cheesecake.
5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
6. Movie related foods (Milk Duds, Buttered Popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots, Tootsie Rolls, etc.) do not have additional calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one\'s personal fuel.
7. Cookie pieces contain no fat-the process of breaking causes fat leakage.
8. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Examples are peanut butter on a knife making a sandwich and ice cream on a spoon making a sundae.
9. Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. Examples are: spinach and pistachio ice cream; mushrooms and white chocolate.
NOTE: Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted for any other food color.
10. Foods that are frozen have no calories because calories are units of heat. Examples are ice cream, frozen pies, and Popsicles.
Greetings,
Kasia

As soon as I finished a big piece of chocolate \"Moose\" cake tonight, I started to feel guilty. Then I read your words. Thank you, no more guilt! Cheers, Monika | | |

beer, my good people, is fat free, salt free and caffeine free.
It is basically a vegetable-based carbonated juice... | |

I must leave this forum. There is a bitter chocolate waiting for me downstairs in the kitchen. Now, seriously, I\'ve noticed that chocolate (I used to hate it before) makes me feel sort of happier. Am I crazy? Yeah, I must be. Claudia | | |
Nathalie M. Girard, ALHC (X) English to French + ... No you are not crazy Claudia... | Dec 13, 2002 |
... it does trigger something in the brain (I forget now, I read this a long time ago), it has been scientifically proven...
So you are not crazy at all my dear
Sweet sweet chocolate....
Ahhhhh......
