Spark People has an article up right now called “Chocolate: A Not-So-Guilty Pleasure” subtitled “A Love Affair with Good Reason” by Rebecca Pratt. Here’s the link: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=375

While the article is not intended to be support for veganism, it makes a good point about chocolate that happens to support vegan chocolate! Whoooo! Here’s what it says:

“Choose dark chocolate over milk chocolate. Studies based on dark chocolate tend to show benefits that milk chocolate does not.”

Yup, so indulge every so often if you like.

Here are a few places where you can find vegan chocolates:

• Rose City vegan chocolates
• Chocolate Decadence
• Vegan Chocolate
• Some Whole Foods sell special vegan truffles made in the store
• Trader Joe’s 70% Dark Chocolate Bars, 72% Dark Chocolate, and 73% Belgian Dark Chocolate Non-Pareils

PS – the article also suggests paring your chocolate with fruit and other nutrient rich foods.
