Why isn't chocolate considered a vegetable?...?!
Answers: if chocolate comes from cocoa beans and all beans are a vegetable?
theres more in a chocolate bar besides cocoa beans. thats why. sugar is not a health food. and if the chocolate bar says "cocoa" thats referring to chocolate powders that are included in the bar making it less healthy for you.
dark chocolate on the other hand which contains more "CACAO" was actually found to be very good for you. Cacao is actually very bitter tasting and refers to the actual cocoa bean itself and not powder.
The only ingredients in a good Chocolate bar are: CACAO PASTE, sugar, COCOA BUTTER, lecithin, and vanilla.
Also the same reason why the "Coffee Bean" isn't a vegetable either. Cocoa beans are the same way. They are both hard "beans" not the soft edible ones that are typically used in healthy food.
too sweet!
ya but sweetyy....chocolate aint right...it aint right girl
good 1. idk
Because it is a by product.
lol
i wish it WAS a vegetable!!!
nope, bean is a seed
not chocolate too!
chocolate itself is highly prossesed. so i dont htink it would be consederd a vegtable. also about 70% of chocolate is sugar so
because chocolate isn't healthy like all of the veggies
It actually comes from a seed pod of the cacao tree, which is an evergreen that grow up to 40 feet tall. It's not really a bean, and it's not a vegetable.
same reason coffee comes from beans and its not a vegetable..
there are exceptions to every rule
Chocolate is made from other ingredients. If chocolate occured naturally, then it would be a vegetable. Think of it another way tomato soup is not a vegetable, yet it is made from vegetables.
I like the way you think. :.)
Chocolate isn't ealthy but all veggies are so it wuldn't work out. cocoa beans are BEANS!
Chocolate is a byproduct of the vegetable.
If it were to be considered a vegetable, we would have to eat the cacao beans, and I've heard they don't taste to good.
because its not as healthy as vegetables are, actually its not even healthy
Becuase you can't grow chocolate
'Cause peoples are stupidheads.
Don't forget 5 fruits and/or vegetables a day!
Lol Some people I know had this discussion too....just becaus eits made from cocoa beans doesnt bean its a vegetable. It doesnt contain Vitamins you find in vegetables unless it had raisins or some kind of nuts fro nutrition. Other wise its made up of a whole bunch of un healthy junk which im addicted too.:)
I don't now...its disgusting how all healthy foods taste minning.
Beans are not a vegetable they are a legume.
beause people add sugar and all these other ingredients to chocolate. chocolate is not good for you, eat it once every 2 months at most. It gives you pimples too.
Its got too many other ingredients. Chocolate at most is 70% cocoa powder. A carrot cake isn't a vegetable just because it has carrot in it.
mmmm, you are right... I guess is like carrot cake. You dont find it in the veggies area. Once you had sugar and milk, and you refined it, is not a pure veggie any more.
By the way, do you know who added sugar to chocolate first in history? Spain. After they took chocolate to Europe from Latin America, they noticed nobody liked it because it was too bitter, and they thought of adding chocolate and milk.
Ahhh, Spain, such a beutiful country....
yes chocolate comes from cocoa beans which would be a vegetable, but chocolate isn't only cocoa beans it has many added ingredients so
cocoa beans=veggie
chocolate=not a veggie
cuz chocolate isnt a veg bc it has sugar
it doesnt have the basic things tht vegatables have like protein, vitamin
ya that makes a lot of sense....idk thou
i dunno i guess its like saying is ketchup considered a vegetable
no, but my d.i.ck. is a cucumber
