Chocolitious Easter time



The German's chocolate addiction is nothing we can hide or deny - everybody knows about it.
So now Easter holidays have passed and it's time for a small statistic concerning chocolate consumption in the second most important chocolate time of the year.

Every German consumes about 1kg of chocolate during the Easter holidays. Per year it's about 8,5 kg, which is 3 kg more than the average European.

In contrast - the yearly per-head-consumption of chocolate in China is about 20 g! In fact chocolate was unknown in China until recent times. But their consumption is rising, which makes me worry about us having enough cocoa. If Chinese ate as much chocolate as Germans do, we might end up with chocolate being a luxury product.

This might not be too bad after all - considering the damage done to our body mass index during Easter! We have to stop harming ourselves! But honestly - who's able to resist a small fluffy pink Easter bunny with a chocolate marzipan egg in it's paw?? It's brutal!

That's why a guy from Berlin decided to sue easter bunny for grievous bodily harm.
The charge:
In fact Easter bunny tortures us by conviction, it's a sadistic little criminal that makes us become addict to calorie- and cholesterol-bombs masked as innocent little Easter eggs.

I'll do my best to prevent Easter bunny from becoming more powerful and eat only potatoe chips this week!
