Trekkette Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 When my sister was working on her Ph.D, she was originally going to be working with chocolate. She switched to trans-fats in margarine, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROFLCopter64bit Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 At least You more appreciate taste of chocolate if You know that You must suffer after such pleasure.There are two reasons why you eat chocolate:1) You eat it because it is delicious to you and you love the flavor.2) You eat it because it makes you feel better (because it contains chemicals which makes you happy) but after the effects wear off you feel worse.Number 2 explains (mostly) why girls eat chocolate when watching chick flicks.

Specialist290 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 2) You eat it because it makes you feel better (because it contains chemicals which makes you happy) but after the effects wear off you feel worse.On that note, never drink down an entire large mocha (from your coffeehouse of choice) in under fifteen minutes. The crash is not pretty, and the twitchy "buzz" you get when the caffeine actually starts kicking in only makes it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROFLCopter64bit Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 There have been studies that show that a moderate amount of chocolate every day is ridiculously good for you. Both physically and emotionally.But this is dark chocolate. Not the milk chocolate we all know and love. Infact, if you eat 10kg of dark chocolate you are poisoned and die. It increases to 12kg for milk chocolate and 15kg for white chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karolus10 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Number 2 explains (mostly) why girls eat chocolate when watching chick flicks.Ice cream's aren't better for that, lol ?If you want to get endorphins, You can exercise instead (Yes, people can get fitness addict).

OdinYggd Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Ice cream's aren't better for that, lol ?Ice cream with chocolate in it is best. Such as Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, or Panda Paws.Note that I said moderate. If you're eating kilograms of chocolate in a sitting, you have... other problems...Pretty sure most people don't ever eat more than half a kilogram in a given sitting. Other problems wouldn't even scratch the surface of what would be happening to someone who was eating several kilograms of chocolate in one go.

Trekkette Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Like emotional trauma?Among other things... Also, a kiligram is a LOT of chocolate. I won a 5 kilo chocolate bar in highschool one fall. It was after Christmas before it was gone...edit - Ice cream with chocolate in it is best. Such as Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, or Panda Paws.Panda paws?!?! I must know what this is... I like Mint Chocolate chip best for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROFLCopter64bit Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Panda paws?!?! I must know what this is...Being in Australia, they sound like food that comes from Kentucky Fried Panda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rage097 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Snickerdoodle cookie dough is amazing. especially with mint ice-cream, but i digress.Why do people keep telling me it's bad to eat raw cookie dough?They're obviously hiding something.Woah, cool. VVVV that way, down there. Edited May 30, 2013 by Rage097 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdinYggd Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Panda paws?!?! I must know what this is... I like Mint Chocolate chip best for that.Not sure if this brand exists in your region:Premium stuff though, also comes in a few variations like chocolate panda paws and I think there was a mint one. I try to stay away from the minty stuff though, the smell of it kinda bugs me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROFLCopter64bit Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I still think it comes from Kentucky Fried Panda.Why do people keep telling me it's bad to eat raw cookie dough?They're obviously hiding something.It's generally bad to eat anything raw (There are heaps of exceptions, though), but cookie dough is an exception as it's edible either way.

Trekkette Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Oh my fluffy lord, that looks yummy, Odin. @ Rage - they're obviously lying to keep it all for themselves. Don't worry, I do the same thing... I like raisin cookie dough the best. Without the raisins, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rage097 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I find it hilarious that people would rather eat the dough than use it for what it was intended. People who sell cookies could save tons of money if they didn't bake the cookies and just sold the dough. And if they did that they could sell it for more and no one would protest it. What if was frozen? Like, just frozen squares of cookie dough could be sold on a hot summer day instead of lemonade or ice cream....I know what I'm doing this summer.

karolus10 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Chocolate and other sweet's aren't good in large amount.For dinner (VS rice and potatoes) I very like buckwheat: it's taste good (especially with meat dishes), it can fill you up easily and had low on calories had a lot of vitamins, antioxidants and contain proteins not available in most plant foods.(in short, it's healthy,easy to use and taste good)Also It's very hard to overcook, what is good feature in college >_<.
