If it was priced out of reach then maybe I wouldn't eat it.

Chocolate and cotton...what next?

I am a recovering chocaholic. I also had severe PMDD. A lovely nurse practitioner started me taking B6 and Magnesium. Did you know that chocolate is very high in Magnesium and a deficiency can be what makes us chocaholics? At least that's what I learned. I enjoy an occasional good chocolate a whole lot more now that I don't have to have it.

I sure hope not. I have been on the dark chocolate so long that regular milk doesn't taste good to me anymore.

Chocolate stash is required material for bad days. Must get more chocolate!

Supposedly by 2012, chocolate bars will be $10.00+. Now, not only do we need to stock up on fabric, we have to hoard the chocolate too. Picture a lot of chocolate covered cherries here and enjoy. :)

Hummm stockpile or stop eating it. I stopped eating it several years ago for several months. I needed extra prayer time for my family so every time I felt an urge for choc I would stop and pray. It worked very well for about a month then the cravings stopped. After a couple of months I started eating choc again...and promptly got sick from eating it. I'm really going to have to think about giving it up again...just not sure people will like me for the month it takes to get out of my system!

I remember once a long time ago my mom heard there was going to be a toilet paper shortage. She had every closet full of toilet paper.
