Sorry all, this is not a cruise related thread but I immediately thought of Ruth and her love of chocolate when I received this e mail. Enjoy.

 

Can't eat Beef, Mad cow....

 

Can't eat chicken . bird flu

 

Can't eat eggs ... Salmonella

 

Can't eat pork ... fears that bird flu will infect piggies

 

Can't eat fish ... heavy metals in the waters has poisoned their meat

 

Can't eat fruits and veggies ... insecticides and herbicides

 

Hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

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"

I've always considered chocolate one of the major food groups. :D

:) Thank you for passing that on. :)

As for me ... I never met a chocolate I didn't like. :D

I can only imagine my 13-year-old using this thread as justification for her eating habits!:eek:;)

I, like Ruth, am an avowed CHOCOHOLIC and I really got a kick out of this.

Thank you.
