Because I'm so unbelievably pissed off about what you are all unbelievably pissed off about, I thought I'd post some good news.
A Bite of Chocolate a Day May Keep Blood Pressure at Bay
Chocolate lovers can rejoice again: More research has found that the antioxidants in dark chocolate can help slightly lower blood pressure.But the good news comes with a caveat -- the chocolate portions have to be limited to 30 calories a day, which works out to slightly more than one Hershey's Kiss.
Such small amounts of the flavanol-rich cocoa found in dark chocolate "may be a promising behavioral approach to lower blood pressure in individuals with above-optimal blood pressure," the German researchers reported in their study.
The article goes into more detail, and it's worth a look. Now if you'll excuse me, there's a Hershey bar beckoning just 2 rooms away.

I wanted to be here today.
But instead, I was over there, somewhere else.
Now I'm here. And I'm starving.
Oh, good, just what our country of wide loads needs...permission to eat more chocolate. And while we're on the subject, can someone please make it a misdemeanor to wear tank tops and cut-offs if you're over 200 lbs. I'm just sayin'...
