Janet--thanks for the info on chocolate--I would argue though that in some cases (MINE!) the relationship is pure love, not "love/hate" ;-) I believe it's true that chocolate = love, at least for me---a connection established when my dear Dad used to bring me a FIVE POUND box of Hershey's kisses when I was a child! (He worked for a grocery co. and got it wholesale) Whatever the scientific evidence may be, the empirical evidence is for real comfort, and a feel-good, satisfying experience---had a Dove bar lately?
