World Chocolate Day.

[arunima]

7th July was World Chocolate Day. Well, I am posting this a bit late. But then the sweetness and joy that chocolate brings is for everyday. Are there chocolate lovers here in the community? And was there a special way you celebrated this day? Or you just didn't realise that it was there.
Chocolate is supposed to bring some good health effects if included regularly in the diet .
Feel free to share your thoughts about the same.

For some reasons, I haven't been a fan of chocolates. But I buy them for my nieces and they love it.

For me l had never known this before. This because l really don't like the chocolates.

Thank you.
@Etini Willie . There are many people whom I know who don't like chocolates. My daughters are crazy about chocolates but my niece doesn't have it.
@Ratine . Even I was not aware of this special day till the last year when someone talked about it on myLot. Well, many people love chocolates.
@Starmix .Dark chocolates ars supposed to be better with health benefits. Good that you enjoy them. Many don't like the bitter taste that it leaves on your palette.

Chocolate would be beneficial only when there is no sugar in it. These days chocolates are nothing but sugar and palm oil.

I am a chocolate lover. I love dark chocolate, especially Venchi's 80% dark chocolate. Not too bitter and not too sweet. Actually, dark chocolate with high content of cocoa offers many health benefits when taken in moderation.

Oh wow, I never knew we even had a world chocolate day. I don't hate chocolate though but have never been a huge fan of it.

@nomad . That's the unfortunate truth. Chocolates loaded with sugar and palm oil are actually health hazards than being a healthy thing.
@Springtime . Dark chocolates are actually considered healthy. And you are right about the moderate use. Moderation is the key.
@eldavis . It doesn't come as a surprise any more to me. It seems that each day we are celebrating something or the other. And at times few celebrations on the same day.

I'm a great lover of chocolate. Wheh i was wsy younger I used to have it twice daily but I have totally reduced that now

 

[freelancermaria]

I have a sweet tooth; however, I have to watch my sugar intake because diabetes runs in the family. When I crave something sweet, I opt for dark chocolate, in moderation.

It would be great if we can celebrate this with actual eating of chocolates. However, it is best not because we cannot afford to be inflicted with diabetes mellitus.

There are many celebrations in the United States just imagine they are celebrating Chocolate Day, There is none here like that in the Philippines.
