My reputation, My love...

Alright, as we all know, I love chocolate...ardently. It is a part of my daily living, kinda like clothes and brushing my teeth. Nevertheless, here, my infatuation for this rich substance of deliciousness is somewhat extraordinary and confusing to my fellow classmates. My reputation is that of the girl who consumes chocolate copiously. And to top it all off, I am doing my dossier for my French civilisation class on "Le chocolat".

I get questions of why chocolate, or where did this love and need come from. Is it a Canadian thing, b/c all three of us Canadian girls eat it; nevertheless, it is them that eat it because they around me, otherwise they can live without it. They see me as this sort of weirdo with the power to convert anyone into a choco-holic, or something along those lines I think. HAHAHA!!! Maybe this is my crowning moment and I can finally get a super cape and a tiara! I don't mind though, it gives me opportunity to use my French as I explain the "Melness" that is behind this trait. Furthermore, it also provides me with free bits of chocolate here and there when my classmates bring chocolate to class and offer it to me, because they know I will appreciate it.

And why this diatribe on chocolate...well let me tell you, I started my research today and I have never read more fascinating information before. Chocolate is healthy in fact, and the darker it is the better for you. It also has a very interesting and complicated history and a diverse economic market on a whole bunch of levels. It is truly mind-boggling how this little treasure of delectableness is in fact part of a process much more complex.

But in order to not bore you any longer, here are a couple of quotes that I enjoyed when researching:

1) Each day, I eat the three nutritious elements indispensable to one's health: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and cacao. - Debra Tracy

2) Do not believe that chocolate is the substitue for love...Love is the substitute for chocolate. - Miranda Ingram.

Now, go eat some chocolate...Bon appetit!!!
