I really believe one of the great gifts of life is chocolate and I love finding articles in magazines and online that say chocolate is good for you. But then I look closer and the sort of quantities they talk about are usually miniscule compared to what real chocolate lovers would regard as a reasonable intake.
Take for instance this item I found on BBC’s site, from way back in 1998: it has a great headline and the first para begins well:
Then the “but”
And I’m pretty sure the experts’ idea of what constitutes “too much” is lower than my estimate.
So it’s probably a good thing I work from home, so that I don’t get tempted so much to buy that Just One Bar Which Should Last a Couple of Days.
But I’ve found a partial substitute for actually buying and consuming chocolate as compulsively as some of us might be wont to do. I can now read about chocolate and ogle the pictures of chocolate confections, over at my b5media colleague Cathy Spalding’s truly scrumptious site, Chocolate Bytes. I think it’s a fair bet she loves her work.
