Eating Chocolate, Mostly

I’m not a drinker and I don’t use drugs, but during challenging times, I have leaned heavily into the antioxidant known as dark chocolate. It’s really just salad, you guys. I have previously made this argument. Chocolate comes from the cacao bean, which is a bean, which obviously does count as a vegetable *in my opinion*. I am not a doctor, but if I were, I would probably say that chocolate is not a vegetable, but it is a powerful antioxidant and is beneficial to those who can eat it. Milk chocolate isn’t the same. Sorry to all the milk chocolate fans out there. It doesn’t pack the antioxidant punch due to the added dairy and sugar.

If you see me in the pantry stuffing my face with a square of dark chocolate containing dried blueberries, keep walking. I’m eating health food and practicing resilience.
