Well I can tell you I'm part of the 2% Pete with a chocolate allergy which gives me the migraine from hell within 15 mins of consumption.

Which is a bugger cause I like chocolate, it just doesn't like me and it's mind boggling how much stuff on the shelves contains chocolate

^^^^ Ask in store for some chocolate free chocolate, its right next to the gluten free gluten, for those who enjoy gluten but are allergic .

Rum n raisin but I'm not allowed sugar in my present state.

Eating chocolate daily - half a grand yearly minimum not to mention the cost to your health.

Not allowed sugar? Are you sure the hospital is not taking the micky?

What's the justification behind that? No veg pizzas I can understand, but no sugar? That's crazy talk!

Sugar in the bloodstream probably doesn't help with the clotting, therefore the bedsores get worse. PM33 knows about that after being T-boned by a tinnie. Sounds like a Kevin Bloody Wilson song, T-boned by a Tinnie. Hope you're better by now Peter

Plus, 500gm blocks are $5 each in Coles, so, $500 a year in chocolate means a big block a week(family size) and that's a sh**load of choccie to shove in that hole !!!
Or more or less, it's still a bucket load of choc to eat each week. Sorry, 2 bottles means no maths!!!

I just had three slices of whole meal pita bread with butter for my tea. Had a frozen spinach and cheese pizza earlier today. Not real healthy I know!

Large taboulleh from Coles as well.

A few plums and peaches. Cup of tea with honey.

A fried tomato and mushroom later tonight.

Lots of pureau water.

No chocolate since I left hospital three weeks ago.

Wish I was eating like you, that sounds great, we had Coles nuggets in wraps with salad and 2 bottles of wine. All in all a great meal, and I hope you're back on the water next season (just to change the subject)!!

Ok I'll bite again. $2.50 for a Mars bar (or whatever) from the vending machine each work day, only doing 300 days a year is $750. That's a bit too much to waste when you can buy a good board each year by staying healthy!!

Look after the planet because it's the only one in the whole galaxy with red wine, coffee and chocolate.

Wow, you are doing it tough.

It sounds like the hospital food was better.

Its criminal that they 'make' you not eat meat. Those Dr Oetker pizzas are nice though. The cheese and spinach one is pretty good.

Close. I reckon Aldi's Moser Roth range takes the cake. Especially the Peruvian dark or Orange and Almond. Choceur is just too sweet for my taste!

Didn't the purple packeted, land clearing, orangutan killing company, change the definition of what chocolate is so they could make it mostly out of palm oil and sugar and less of what used to be chocolate....
