It's Purely Medicinal

Did you know that 3.3 billion pounds of chocolate are consumed each year? And did you know that chocolate is really full of antioxidants and has significant amounts of magnesium, copper, iron and zinc and it may actually lower blood pressure? Not to mention chocolate can help make you mentally alert. I say we give our teachers chocolate instead of apples, whoever heard of an apple making you mentally alert. Whoever heard of a teacher (homeschooling teachers included) who didn't need to be more mentally alert? Eating chocolate before exercising can give you more energy to work out longer to burn more calories so you can eat more chocolate (okay, I made that one up). Denying oneself of chocolate is like keeping milk away from a baby. Who would do such a thing? Chocolate is the food of choice for peri-menopausal women. How can all those women be wrong? On top of the nutritional values, chocolate can give you a feeling of well-being . . . so you see, it's purely medicinal . . . are you buying any of this????
