Appa has been stressed out lately. I advised him:
"Eat some chocolate, appa."
Appa: Chocolate is bad for your teeth."
Me: Nonsense appa.
Having said it was nonsense, I set out to prove I was right and appa was wrong. I was aided and abetted in this process by a lovely book called "Chocolate: The consuming passion" by Sandra Boynton. It is very informative book which answers every intelligent
question about chocolate. The book debunks some of the more popular myths about chocolate:
1. Chocolate is bad for your teeth.
2. Chocolate is fattening.
3. Chocolate is a dangerous drug.
4. Chocolate is not nutritious.
The book also makes a very provocative observation: The greatest tragedies were written by the Greeks and by Shakespeare. Neither knew chocolate. The Swiss are known for nonviolence. They are also known for superb chocolate.
