Liana do you eat chocolate? How can I eat it on The Earth Diet .... I crave it everyday! - Roger, NZHey Roger! Good news - yes! I do eat chocolate quite regularly and have made it a part of my lifestyle.Chocolate is actually healthy - well the cacao in chocolate is what makes chocolate 'chocolate' and also where the health benefits are.
