Every time you look at a dark chocolate, you don’t think, do you? Bet on it, it’s the sensuous feeling that ruthlessly ignores all that goes into a chocolate to make it worth the feeling.
This is not a different perspective, but being a cook, I can give you that thought. Sue has given it a logical twist by making you convince 13 times in a blog that ‘chocolate is veg’, as it is derived from the cacao beans.
Cacao, literally meaning food for Gods (Aztec community), is a veg, that too from the protein body of beans. True, the sugar that goes into it is either from sugarcane plant or sugar beets and all the strawberry, nuts and raisins that are folded into the batter are fruits.
If the proposition is all about chocolate being healthy and a vegetarian’s delight, I hope vegetarians will agree with me when I disagree to that. Do you think you get roughage and water with all the required nutrition in that tempting bar? Well, if you do, then do you get it fresh? The gelatin that goes into it is a non-veg derivative, and the sugary base at the end of sugarcane recycling is a carbonaceous matter. And Sue, calorie is no joke. Stop persuading people that way.
Think of the dangers of people surviving only on chocolates, it would be devastating nature’s food chain and the agricultural sector. Ok, Sue, in a lighter vein, if chocolate is veg, why does a psychologist recommend it to rejuvenate sexual life?
