Easter, health and chocolate
April 24th 2011 06:20
It’s Easter and therefore appropriate to reinforce a message which can sometimes get lost at this time of year.
The message is that, under no circumstances, should you eat chocolate.
Look, I know what you’re thinking, but the fact is that chocolate is just as bad for you at Easter as at any other time of the year.
Just remember that there is a long list of negatives arising from the consumption of chocolate, whereas research worldwide over many years has yet to establish even one objective benefit.
Remember, also, that it takes ongoing willpower to resist the siren appeal of chocolate. Let your resolve slip for a second and it’s easy to fall. The first sign is inventing excuses.
The exception to the absolutely no chocolate ever rule, of course, is Lindt chocolate. Eat some of that stuff and you feel like you rule the universe, which is an objective benefit in anyone’s language.
Another exception is any chocolate which comes in a wrapping. This can be eaten in an emergency, such as when you are awake and craving chocolate.
Otherwise, don’t touch the stuff.
