I'm not sure if today's food can be considered good or bad. I had a chocolate bar for lunch; something I would normally never do.
It all started when I met Gael for lunch. We weren't going out but just sit in her car and talk. The subject of chocolate bars came up and I told her that I hadn't had one in over 8 months. I told her I cant have one because they are almost pure sugar. She explained that we were talking about 2 seperate things. What I call a chocolate bar she calls American chocolstized candy type substance. We ran to the store and she picked one out that she likes. It's made by a company called lindt. Never heard of them but gave it a try. At first I didn't like it because it just wasn't sweet. We talked about the differences between the two and somehow I ended up eating the whole thing.
I guess I never knew the differences between chocolates. Like what I thought was chocolate has about 11% cocoa. This one had 78% . the ingredients on the old bar might have well been in Latin. I couldnt pronounce half of it. The new one listed what should be in chocolate. Things you can understand. Cocoa, milk fat, sugar.......just non chemical engineering words lol. The sugar content was less than half of what im used to. All and all I guess it wasn't a horrible choice. It even had protein and fiber in it. So I had to admit she was mostly right about the whole thing.

Lindt is pretty amazing. Also one of a VERY few companies that actually make sure their products can´t be contaminated with peanut traces instead of just writing on the package it may be, which is kind of a Big Thing for people with bad allergies. Their normal stuff is too sweet for my taste, but then again 11% cacao wouldn´t be allowed to be branded "chocolate" over here. The lowest I know is 35%

Most of the stuff here is labeled milk chocolate so maybe that has something to with it. I did some reading and by law it only has to contain 10% cocoa to be labeled as chocolate.Lindt is pretty amazing.

I don't know honestly. It could have just been one of those things. Maybe I watched something on tv that bothered me. With the bipolar I tend to get more emotionally involved in things. Like a tv show or movie can get to me more than it should. So most of the times some weird emotion gets triggered and I have know Idea why. But anyways, things are looking better today.
