Let me enlighten you with more chocolate facts!

Chocolate is lower in cholesterol than many other foods. A one-ounce piece of chocolate has about half the cholesterol of a one-ounce piece of cheddar cheese. Even better, chocolate may also help reduce “bad” cholesterol, because it contains one of the same substances as red wine (i.e. phenolics).

Allergies to chocolate are actually quite rare. Allergies are more likely caused by nuts in chocolate candy, so choose chocolates without nuts, and read labels carefully to avoid allergic reactions.

So according to this, chocolate and wine (but especially chocolate) should be consumed because it's good for you?

A few quotes regarding chocolate: (Not sure who said them)

Man cannot live by chocolate alone - but woman can!

I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter....

There is nothing better than a good friend - except a good friend with chocolate.

A balanced diet consists of items from the five major food groups:
dairy, grains, meats, fruits/vegetables, and chocolate.

Anything tastes better dipped in chocolate.

I'll eat anything, as long as it's chocolate.

More on the divine goodness of chocolate:

Cocoa Trees require warm, moist climates and are largely found in West Africa - Ghana, the Ivory Coast and Nigeria. The scientific term for the Cocoa Tree is 'Theobroma Cacao'. This is the Greek term for 'Food for the Gods'.

The Mayans and Aztecs believed that the Cocoa Beans originated from Paradise and would bring wisdom and power to anyone consuming them.

Emperor Montezuma of Mexico partook a Chocolate drink before entering his harem. This gave rise to the notion of Chocolate having aphrodisiac properties. The Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova was another fellow who subscribed to this notion. There is some truth to the idea though, since Chocolate contains hundreds of chemicals including the feel-good stimulants - Caffeine, Theobromine, and Phenyethylamine.

The first toilet ever seen on television was on "Leave It To Beaver".

Oddly enough, the dirtiest line ever spoken in a sitcom was also from "Leave It To Beaver", when Mrs. Cleaver said to her husband "Ward, weren't you a little hard on the beaver last night?"

LOL! Interestingly enough, the color orange had never been coined before oranges were discovered because they are the only instance of that color occuring naturally, so the explorer who discovered them named the color after the local's name for the fruit.

In San Cristobal de las Casa, in Chiapas, Mexico, upper class Spaniards were so addicted to chocolate intake that they refused a church dictated ban forbidding consumption of drink or food during Mass. In response, the townspeople refused to uphold this edict and chose to attend worship services in Convents. The Bishop of Chiapas, who passed the edict, was found dead due to a mixture of poison that was secretly added to his daily cup of chocolate. Rumor has it that he passed from this world with a smile on his face.

It is commonly believed that Paul Revere said "The British are coming, the British are coming!"

However, Revere never said "The British are coming." This would have made no sense because, at the time, they considered themselves British. Revere instead said, "The Regulars are coming out! The Regulars are coming out!"

But that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

So confident were some people that alcohol was the cause of virtually all crime that, on the eve of Prohibition, some towns actually sold their jails.

To make oranges a more appealing orange color, oranges are sometimes gassed. Some oranges are also dyed in a vat, dried, then coated in Johnson’s Wax.
