Well some of us eat a lot of chocolate while hiking.  Then there are some chocolate lovers on the list.  Plodder

 *Chocolate Laughs*
 
 Chocolate is a Vegetable Chocolate is derived from cacao beans.  Bean =
 vegetable.  Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. 
 Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category.  Thus,
 chocolate is a vegetable.
 
 To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is
 dairy.  So candy bars are a health food.
 
 Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all
 count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
 
 If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too
 slowly.
 
 The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a
 hot car.  The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.
 
 Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal.  It'll take the edge off
 your appetite, and you'll eat less.
 
 If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a
 balanced diet?  Don't they actually counteract each other?
 
 Chocolate has many preservatives.  Preservatives make you look younger.
 Therefore, you need to eat more chocolate.
 
 Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today.  That
 way, at least you'll get one thing done.
 
 A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories
 in one place.  Now, isn't that handy?
 
 If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer.  But
 if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?
 
 If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. 
 An entire garment industry would be devastated.  You can't let that
 happen, can you?
