Chocolates are good but eat moderately it makes you fat.

Yes, chocolates are very good for you, especially the dark kinds. Chocolate does something good for your heart. It also lifts your spirits and makes you feel good all over! It is supposed to be one of the love making foods for that reason. I love chocolates and I eat them often. We have a daughter who was allergic to chocolate as a little girl, and she still can't enjoy eating chocolate because of bad memories of what it used to do to her, so not everyone can enjoy eating chocolate, but if you can you are blessed, and eat to your heart's content!

It is pretty funny, because I took a notion when I was at the store to pick up a box of Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate. When I got home I found 2 boxes of them that I had purchased some time in the past. The one that I just finished eating said it was best if it was used by July 2011, so I was only about a year late eating that one! The one I am eating now says that it is best if it is used by September 2010, so I am a little late with this one, but I just took a bite of one of the chunks, and it seems fine to me! :lol:

I am eating it with some smoked almond nuts, so that should be a good combination!

I have always eaten things that made others worry.I have eaten things from the dumpster if was good. I really didn't need to, but wanted to, and it worked. We had one guy working where we lived in the National Park. He was waiting tables. In the back where we did the dishes, and I have worked there many times, he would take the food off people's plates who did not eat all their food, and he would eat it! That I would not do. He didn't have to; he was a dentist's son, and had more money that any of the rest of us could only dream about having! When we moved I had candied crakers, chocolates of various kinds, and a can of carmeled candies; can't think of the name just now, but I was handing them out, until my kids found out they were 5 or 6 years old, and they would not eat any more! My son-in-law's mother took some of these carmeled candies, and they laughed at her. She asked, "What is so funny?" They were laughing because she didn't know that these candies were 6 years old, but they had been sealed, so they should have been good forever, right? Anyway we got lots of food from this place after they threw it away, but I had to take it without their knowledge, even though they knew I took if, and often times gave it to me, but the reason was health and government regulations. It would be like juices, fruits, lasania sp?, and many other foods, many still in their original packaging. I think I worried this one cook, because he told me that his grandpa died from eating something that was too old! Some things improve with age! :lol:

I have the baker's chocolate here, and I eat it periodically, but there are two giant chocolate bars that I enjoy eating. One has the almonds in it, and it is regular milk chocolate. The other is a dark chocolate bar which is slightly sweetened. There have been several times that I have found them to be out of stock in the store, so I guess there are other people who love them too! We went to Safeway instead of Walmart for bananas because Walmart's bananas have not been worth buying lately. Safeway has bags of them cheaper, and those bananas are very good, even better than the ones that Walmart has. If Walmart is not going to carry enough chocolate I will be looking at chocolate in Safeway along with the bananas! I like Walmart; I'm not putting them down, but they don't do very well with bananas and chocolate, two of my favorite foods!

I love chocolate a lot. But i am careful when i eat because i might get diabetes. hehe

If it runs in your blood or hereditary most likely you'll get it esp if you have too much sugars/calorie or carbo. Minimum intake of them wont harm you.
Im happy because i have chocolate moist cake. I may not eating choco bars but i can eat still by cakes.

You are wise, Crisi, because the doctor said that diabetes is a life style disease. We have a daughter who disagrees and says, "No it is inherited." Personally I don't know. The doctor was saying eat carefully, exercise, watch your weight, and you will be less likely to get diabetes. My son-in-law came down with diabetes, and he is in his 40s. He over did the sugar type foods, and Carol thinks that is what brought it on. His mother has diabetes, and he is convinced he has it because she had it. It is definately something to be concerned about. I found my giant dark slightly sweetened chocolate bars so I got 2 of them. They are in the closet waiting for when I suddently realize that I can't live without chocolate another day! :lol:
