Chocolate!

Bysuehar

I was watching our local television news this morning when a cute young thing read a very interesting  report.  Evidently, according to the latest medical research,  women who eat a serving of chocolate each week have a significantly lower risk of heart problems.  Honest, that’s what the report said. 

About lunch time, I realized that I hadn’t had my serving of chocolate this week.  The next thing I knew a package of chocolate chips was right there in my hand.   How convenient!  Now the medical report didn’t say how much chocolate a serving entailed, so I decided to start with a handful.  After all, didn’t our forefathers live on handfuls of food prior to the invention of silverware?  And isn’t the human heart just about the size of a human fist?  To be safe I ate second handful.

Thank goodness my husband wasn’t home for lunch today.  You don’t eat handfuls of chocolate chips in front of husbands.  My dog wanted his own heart-healthy serving, but as I always tell him, “Chocolate is doggy poison.”  Luckily for women everywhere, chocolate is a vitamin. 

Q4U: Any diet tips for the holidays? 

Blessings!  Sue

  4. Haha Sue……..snagged – lol. That’s what happens when your husband can see your blog 🙂

    I have ALWAYS liked dark chocolate better than milk chocolate – who knew I was just eating healthy!!!

    I don’t think “diet” and “holidays” belong in the same sentence…………but you’re the writer, so who am I to say……….
