You got that? Commies!:)<br /> Plus, they can't get away with this- we are Americans and so we have a right to the best preventive healthcare there is out there, which includes keeping the most essential food groups like chocolate and whole grains in our diets. Remember, chocolate is a powerful antioxidant. But don't worry,<br />they will never get all our chocolate. Don't they know all us Mormon Mommy Bloggers already have at least a year's supply in storage? They will never ever hunt all our chocolate down! I say get all the Mommy Bloggers in the land to make a rush on chocolate now.

My son had to be dragged from the mall (Gymboree day camp) and then my daughter figured out how to undo her stroller straps and fell head first onto the asphalt. So, we were then late to pick the other kids up from their day camp. I was having a hard time taming the panic until I spotted a peanut butter cup package unopened in my door. I opened the package ignoring the fact that it had been in the hot car while we were at the mall and ate the chocolate the only way I could. My oldest said, "wow, watching your mom lick a peanut butter cup wrapper is pretty awkward." It was as the calm was restored and I started to laugh that I realized just how passionate I could become on this chocolate issue.Vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508647658368782915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-72233329317404339962009-07-29T23:55:24.484-04:002009-07-29T23:55:24.484-04:00That does it.

Slight of hand by the Government is all it boils down to. We are being robbed of our chocolate! They have forced Cadbury into it too but they think no one has noticed... you can't hide behind a new fancy pack Cadbury... I saw that 50grams of chocolate you pinched from each block and I'm NOT HAPPY! That 50g was the bit I saved so I didn't feel like a pig eating the whole block in one sitting... I'll be sending you the bill for my therapy Mr Rudd!<br /><br />SC- Thank you for opening my eyes to this...

If you give away the chocolate to the weakest members of our society, then they will have no incentive to work for it.
