You don't want Ali to hear you say that! 
Not that Ali is overweight - far from it, I suspect - but saying "chocolate is fattening" is like saying "bacon is bad for you". Clearly, false information!

I'm certainly far from judging other members body shape.
Quote: *could* be related to the chocolate.
*could* in the sense of may, or may not.
Yes, I posted something that says nothing at all, in best Swiss manner 
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Are the Swiss allowed to cast aspersions on Chocolate? I always assumed that was a hanging offense in most cantons.

I'm originally from the canton Aargau, where only casting aspersions against any type of alcoholic beverage is a hanging offense

Unfortunately not! About half of the natural chocolate is cocoa butter, and that is a pure vegetable fat! You have to eat dark/unsweetened chocolate (70% or over) to minimize the amount of cocoa butter - and to maximize the pleasure

Myth No. 2 "Chocolate is fattening."
A crucial factor has been overlooked in this widespread condemnation of chocolate: Most chocolate eaters tend to supplement their chocolate intake with other foods. By what right, what logic can chocolate be singled out as the cause of plumpness? How can we be certain that, say, carrots are not a catalyst of weight-gain when chocolate is present?
And there is empirical evidence that also raises serious doubts about chocolate's fatteningness: Few chocolate lovers can simply lie back and wait for chocolate to come to them. For most, getting and keeping chocolate often requires strenuous physical work.

Dark chocolate, my favorite kind, although I'll eat any kind of chocolate that comes my way.

Chocolate is made from cacao and the cacao is a fruit of a plant. Clearly chocolate is vegetable! It cannot be bad for you
Don't believe anyone who says otherwise, they try to lower the consummation of this food of Bob, so there will be more for them.
Ali will agree with me, because this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Nuts come from plants too and they're one of the most fattening foods around

Strange, squirrels seem fine to me. I don't remember seeing fat one

Squirrels in autumn get very fat indeed. If they don't, they die during hibernation and spring.

Good.

So, anything vegetable is absolutely OK ?
In that case i can think of a few plants in my garden you might care to try (this time of year: Lily of the valley), you wouldn't derive much pleasure from them and certainly not for long. Mind you, getting fat definitely becomes a thing of the past. 
|
|
|
|
|
So I definitely shouldn't be eating it, then?
Not unless blurry vision, diarrhea, vomiting and nausea, disorientation, drowsiness, headaches, red skin rashes, excessive salivation, sudden alterations in your cardiac rhythm and possible death sound like your idea of fun.
Sounds like a fun summer vacation on the beach to me.

Eating it is not a good option, vegetable or not.
Me, I prefer chocolate: as dark as possible, made from GOOD plants.
In the end it might kill you as well but at least the process is slow and you get to enjoy it along the way.

Chocolate and bacon are both fattening. Like all high energy foods, the appropriate remedy is to do enough exercise that you can enjoy them without getting fat
In my case the fatty food of choice is cheese and oils in savoury dishes, as well as eating a lot of carbs. But the remedy is much the same.
