Chocolate Day

July 7, 2008

I love chocolate.
My favorite kind is dark.
And it’s good for you.

 

Today is Chocolate Day.  I liked dark chocolate even before I knew it was “good for you”; in fact, I used to eat semi-sweet baker’s chocolate as a child (still will, if I get the chance).  The antioxidants in dark chocolate are concentrated enough that a little chocolate is good; still, too much chocolate isn’t considered to be good because of the relatively high fat content.  And, I probably eat more than I should.

It also happens to be National Strawberry Sundae Day.  What a lovely coincidence; chocolate goes well with sundaes.
