Sure. As far as for flavoring of things, chocolate has replaced carob over the years on the raw foods community. The whole idea is that raw, cacao is what raw chocolate is really called, and the whole idea is because it's raw, it's healthy. Just like I talked about earlier, there are two categories of food, raw and cooked. So chocolate, that has negative effects on people, that actually kills a lot of animals, all of a sudden because it's raw, now it's good for you. I wouldn't call it a half truth, it's maybe like a quarter truth or a fifth truth..
If you have a regular chocolate bar, it's got pasteurized milk, it's got hydrogenated oil, it's got white sugar, it's got artificial flavorings. None of it is organic. It's got pesticide residues. It's absolute crap. I would consider that poisonous for the body. In addition, it's got caffeine and theobromine from the chocolate. And the chocolate's probably been heated up to a temperature that's not raw for sure.
You then can move into, let's say, a whole food vegan chocolate bar where you have organic cocoa butter, organic cacao, sweetened with some sort of organic, more whole food natural sugar and no flavorings whatsoever. That is much healthier than a regular chocolate bar.
