Then here's yet another reason to:

Chocolate may boost brain power (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060524/hl_nm/health_chocolate_dc;_ylt=AsU5jfmjcXy62zDG1oSZ3a2s0 NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3ODdxdHBhBHNlYwM5NjQ-)

An excerpt from the above article:

Chocolate lovers rejoice. A new study hints that eating milk chocolate may boost brain function.

"Chocolate contains many substances that act as stimulants, such as theobromine, phenethylamine, and caffeine," Dr. Bryan Raudenbush from Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia noted in comments to Reuters Health.

"These substances by themselves have previously been found to increase alertness and attention and what we have found is that by consuming chocolate you can get the stimulating effects, which then lead to increased mental performance."

Here's the problem... it says that milk chocolate boosts brain function- maybe. But dark chocolate (http://www.webmd.com/content/article/88/99702.htm)is the stuff that's good for your heart. And milk chocolate has oodles of fat in it. It's the chocolate you are not supposed to eat.

what do they say about the chocolate you pour onto your lover? Can I mix pleasure with education?
