5 servings daily . . .

[Bucky]

Here is something I found on the internet for you to ponder: 

Chocolate is made from cocoa, cocoa is made from beans, we all know beans are vegetables, so chocolate counts as vegetables!  Therefore, eat 5 servings daily.   

Sounds like a plan to me!!   

Enjoy your veggies!!

My aunt used to make novelty chocolates that looked like fruits such as strawberries, bananas, oranges, apples, etc. from milk chocolate painted with colored white chocolate.  She said "you could tell your mother you ate fruit at my house."    lol

Aw Bucky, a topic right down my little ol tummies way!  Chocolate, the nectar of life!

My goodness Parrot, that sounds like your aunt had the "most popular" house in town!  I know I would have planted my self there!

I LOVE your way of thinking, Bucky! 

I swear that a bite of Hershey helps me with some saliva production; see, that's why it's good for me.    Not to mention, it's so heavenly...

Hugs and smiles,

I'll mention this one to the wife, she will love it 

Me personally, never touch the stuff 

[Bucky]

Ahhhh, glad we are all eating our vegetables!   

mink - I've never heard of the Chocolate Room . . . sounds like I room I could work in!

You know that little song Mary Poppins sang, "just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down, medicine go dowwwwwwwwwn, medicine go down"?  Well, I think we should now substitute the word chocolate (or veggies  ) for sugar.  We sjoggies will do a scientific study to see if this doesn't help our medicines to go down easier.

As always, the rules are . . . break the chocolate in half and the calories leak out.

You mean you didnt know chocolate was a major food group? I have given up all gluten, most dairy, most egg products, can and will not give up my chocolate(in moderation of course...well most days anyway!)

[Parrot Pal]

RobinBat,
My hubby has been saying that chocolate was a major food group for a long time.  I guess I was just behind the times.

I am sure there was a study done that proved the Extra Dark Chocolate was good for you.

[RobinBat]

yES, an ounce a day of dark choc. recommended, high in antioxidents or some such....good enough reason for me....
