Have you noticed the push for "cacao" consumption lately? on nearly every chocolate there's a % indicating how much cacao's in the product. i wonder how long this trend will last until people realize how fat they're getting.

don't Forget to Use Capitals in Korea, billYrObby, Unless you Are SeriouSly WonderIng why PeoplE think yer an...

awe, c'mon. it's an observation. have you become too clouded in your self-absorbing manner to, i dunno, even if you feel like repyling like you did, to just let it slide?

little trends pop up all over the place in korea: well-being (well-being soju, now?!?), squeeky shoes, aromatherapy... all sorts of things (that aren't exclusive to korea, for certain). again, dinkwad, just making an observation.

COnsumption of chocolate does not necesarily make you fat, it depends on the quantaty and the content of chocolate.

The darker the chocolate the less calories, but please let people enjoy some bad chocolate, i really should start considering setting up a Belgian Chocolate place, so they can actually enjoy some decent chocolate.

I think I've finally lived in Korea long enough that I don't think Korean chocolate tastes horrible. Well, most of it.

Same had caught on in Japan. Big Time.

It's because if the Choc has over 65% Cacao content, it is VERY high in Anti Oxidents (Spelling...?)

Actually purportedly very good for health (in reasonable ammounts..)

I'd post the facts but can't be bothered (sorry)

But you can find tons of info about it on the net.

So yeah, If over 65% cacao content, it's really good for you!

Pretty cool eh...?

I think so, cause I love it.

Cool

My girlfriend eats chocolate like it is going out of style and she is paper thin. She eats that high cacao % stuff that makes your face contort when you put it in your mouth, but she loves it. Me, I just like milk chocolate, but I don't eat a lot anyways as I am not overly crazy about sweets.

It ain't the cacao that's doing the damage...it's the incredible amount of sugar in yer hershey squirts.
