I'm being a health nerd (lol, I know nothing about health/food science/biology), and looking up what foods I should eat more of that are good for people with asthma and stuff. None of the foods are particularly nice, but then I saw chocolate, and got all excited until I saw that it said dark chocolate.dark chocolate

I've actually been told (by my mammy :P) numerous times that I shouldn't be having dairy stuff (before I found out I had asthma), but I'm ridiculously picky (and silly) so I haven't done anything about it yet. I should really give up chocolate that isn't dark, and switch to goats' milk, but I've very little will power.
College would be an ideal time to give up dairy stuff though. If I only buy goats' milk then I'll have to either starve or drink it. :cool: Milk chocolate will be far more challenging though. It's like my favourite thing of all time. :pac: And dark chocolate is awful.
Maybe if I avoid milk chocolate for long enough, I'll start to think dark chocolate is nice... There's always After Eights.

Sometimes I feel so alone in liking dark chocolate
You're lucky! It's like, actually healthy.
I'm going to try to ease myself into the whole eating dark chocolate thing, I just have no idea where to start. 0 -

Like, tbh dark chocolate (as far as I know), is just a higher concentration, and its the chocolate itself that's good for, but it can be negated by the milk and sugar. If you have no trouble with whatever is in milk and sugar I'd say milk chocolate is mad good for you :cool:0 -
It's all about the percentage of cocoa. 75%+ is meant to brilliant, but whatever goodness you get from chocolate is halved if it's milk chocolate. </3 Plus I need to avoid dairy, even though most dairy things, like chocolate, cheese and pizza, are the most delicious foods. 0

Try rice milk! I couldn't have cows' milk at all when I was younger because my asthma was so bad, hated goat's milk but rice milk is soooo nice. Kinda wish I still had a reason to drink it all the time actually...0 -

I should manage goats' milk, I remember thinking it wasn't that bad, but I'll bear this in mind, thanks!0 -

Ewwwwwwwww milk.
I actually think its the most revolting drink in the world, it even smells.. And it brings me back to bad primary school days where it was forced down my throat too many times a day
Says the one who loves milkshakes but on its own or in tea or cereal.. Barf..
And goats milk is meant to be even more rotten, my sister had awful asthma too but wouldnt drink it as a baba..
Waters where its at lads.. Have your litre a day, its easy out, and your skin will look better

If you ever see 95% cocoa, walk away! Probably the most vile thing I've ever tasted. Sure I thought it would be great...0 -

Yay! Thought I was the only one that hated milk.
Milkshakes are fine, small amount on cereal is fine, but God help you if you come near me with a glass of milk because I will actually wretch.
