Wired News has an article that totally justifies my chocolate intake.
If that craving for chocolate sometimes feels like it is coming from deep in your gut, that’s because maybe it is.
A small study links the type of bacteria living in people’s digestive system to a desire for chocolate. Everyone has a vast community of microbes in their guts. But people who crave daily chocolate show signs of having different colonies of bacteria than people who are immune to chocolate’s allure.
If this is the case, then I have a Manhattan-sized colony of chocolate-loving bacteria in my stomach.
Time for some Cadbury!
I don’t eat chocolate because I like it – I only eat it because it is good for you.

We have higher class bacteria.
Kind of takes the romance right out of it…unless we’re now going to talk about sexy bacteria.
Luckily, I have the good kind of bacteria. Mmmmmm… chocolate.
