I believe that leaves Chocolate!!!!!!!!

Chocolate is a Vegetable

**

Chocolate is 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, so eat as many as you want.

**Remember - - -

 

"STRESSED" spelled backward is "DESSERTS"

Thanks for posting this little unknown fact. No more guilt for me when I eat chocolate.:D Bring on the extravaganza!!!;)

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thanks for posting.

I had gotten an e-mail a couple of years about chocolate being a vegetable - bean, etc.

Had forgotten all about it.

Now I must head for the candy dish which holds only dark chocolates.

Remember, too, it's said that dark chocolate is good for the heart.

 

Obviously, I hadn't been eating enough of it! :rolleyes: But, I'll remedy that situation! ;)

We're not supposed to. Slows me down, but doesn't stop me. ;)

There are some really excellent sugar-free chocolates out there---not as good as the real thing, but an acceptable substitute with a smaller dose of guilt.
