    His first point to support his claim is that chocolate is fattening. He uses prior knowledge to support this fact by saying that candy bars can be upwards of 200 calories, they contain fat and sugar, and skinny people are vegetarians or athletes. Diego’s second point is that newspapers are not always trustworthy. He uses examples from his experience, the news going back and forth over the health benefits of red wine and the push for gluten-free food unnecessarily. His final point is that the study from the newspaper article was not valid. He uses the proof that testing only healthy people leads to skewed results and the study should have included chocolate eaters who were unhealthy.

    In 2013, about 7.4 million tons of chocolate is expected to be consumed globally, totaling to nearly $110 billion (Pardomuan, Nicholson). I can honestly say that I will be one of the many people who contribute immensely to those massive quantities. Chocolate has always been one of my guilty pleasures, leading me to consider myself a “chocoholic.” After 20 years of eating chocolate, I learned there is more to chocolate than meets the eye. Many chemicals compose each delicious piece creating multiple psychological effects on the mind. With the knowledge of the chemical and psychological influences that chocolate has on the human mind and body and my own curiosity as to why I love it so much, this led me to ask: Why is chocolate considered such a pleasurable and craveable food?
