Dumb idea on my part then.
It's supposed to be a thread with no topic, that just kind of takes on a life of it's own.
Oh, well, all my ideas can't be gems.

The Chocolate Is A Food Group thread:
Do you like chocolate? Here's a list of reasons why you should, if you don't already...
Chocolate is a vegetable: it is derived from cocoa beans. Beans are a vegetable.
Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. Thus (to repeat my point), chocolate is a vegetable.
To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is a dairy product. So chocolate and candy bars containing it are a health food.
Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
If you have a problem of trying to figure out how you can get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car, I have the solution for you: eat it in the parking lot.
Diet tip: eat a chocolate bar one half hour before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less.
If you eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, isn't that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?
Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.
Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.
A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy?

You're right. I can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two.

My theory about chocolate in cooking: If it has chocolate as an ingredient it can only get better with MORE chocolate. If it doesn't, then add chocolate to it either as an ingredient or as a sauce.
Its been shown that chocolate has chemicals that are close to the chemicals our bodies produce when we are in "love".
Chocolate can promote world peace - after all, how angry are you after a bowl of Phish Food Ice Cream ?
