Enjoy your Valentine's Day edibles

I think everyone should read this article, and the ones it links to. We are so, so, so weight-obsessed in this country, that anyone not fitting the government BMI charts is automatically labeled "unhealthy" and if you are a celebrity, every pound you gain (or lose) is scrutinized and yakked about ad nauseum. No wonder eating disorders are so prevalent.
Please, enjoy your Valentine's Day yummies without guilt, or counting the calories, or thinking you have to "give up" something else to "make up" for eating them. Just enjoy them and be thankful.
We are enjoying ours! I got 1/2 lb. of burgundy chocolate covered cherries and I bought a 1/2 lb. of milk chocolate covered turtles (her favorites). Of course, they are from Alethias :-)
