Easter eggs

[Mary_Gail_36]

Bless me Father, for I have sinned.

I ate chocolate, prepared a roast chicken using spices, made a chocolate cake, planted some rosemary and thyme in the garden and spent a bit too much time on CAF

Chocolate easter eggs might look fun but they’re not as harmless as they look. Chocolate comes from the Aztec and Mayan civilisations. In the Mayan society chocolate was considered toxic to women and children. Chocolate can also kill a pet by chocolate poisoning. Apparently the Mayan sacrificed dogs, which were covered in cocoa to the chocolate God Ek Chuah in April around the same time as Easter.

One of my brothers has epilepsy. One April, around the same time as the Mayan festival, he gorged himself on chocolate eggs and took a fit. He covered himself in chocolate like one of the dog sacrificed to the chocolate God Ek Chuah. (True story)

I’d sue the Church for not warning us about chocolate.

Are you any relation to Obama or Nancy??? Seriously, you all sound the same…

 

[kmuestwin]

Did you mean “tomb”, or “womb”?

“Tomb” would actually work for me, I am majorly allergic to chocolate.

As a child, I was always told that the eggs we hunted for represented the empty tomb. If they kill you because of your allergies that’s just a shame.

She’s also said it’s vain to get good grades.

I had never heard that one.

We are always taught that the egg symbolized new life, and represented a womb. Two sides of the same coin I guess.

Yeah, a chocolate allergy is no fun, but I don’t think I’ll sue the Church over it…

We must especially avoid chocolate Christmas trees.

Hi you all,
St Paul said “Don’t eat food sacrificed to an idol.” 1 Corinthians 10:28. There isn’t anything currently in the Catechism about abstaining from certain foods but it’s in the New Testament. Chocolate may have originated as sacrificial food to Ek Chuah, the cocoa God of the Mayans and Aztecans. This is covered up by Cadbury’s, Lindt and other chocolate corporations. Chocolate poisoning can be dangerous to the elderly, the sick and the unborn. White chocolate and rubbish chocolate is safer than high cocoa content chocolate, but you’re wiser buying toffee, fudge, biscuits and cakes at Easter.

“The amount of theobromine found in chocolate is small enough that chocolate can generally be safely consumed by humans. However occasional serious side effects may result from the consumption of large quantities, especially in the elderly.[1] In extreme cases, emergency room treatment may be required.[2]”

St.Paul also said all food comes from God and call the people who fear of eating food that offered to the gods weak minded.

Pagans use lots of things, they use chickens, pigs, goats, fishes. Based on these description we should not eat any food at all.

Budgie2, if you have chocolate that was offered by the Mayan’s and Astecs to their feathered gods, I would be very careful not to eat it. As an artifact of those civilizations it must be worth a fortune. Speaking of theobromine and chocolate, my twelve pound pooch consumed two ounces of dark chocolate and went hyper. She became a dervish and went wild. Obviously demons in the chocolate. She calmed down the next day with no ill effects.

I think what you’re missing in St. Paul’s statement is don’t eat the actual offering.

If a piece of chocolate was offered as a sacrifice, don’t eat **that **piece of chocolate.

He isn’t saying don’t eat that particular food ever.

You also notice that your references doesn’t help your cause right.

Chocolate can be a problem for the elderly when consumed in “large quantities”. It also says “occasional”. Which means not very often.

You’re making a chocolate mountain out of a mole hill.

I’m just passing on information. I’m not saying that all epileptics are dogs, but I’m saying my brother was nearly sacrificed like a dog due to a lack of information about chocolate.

Pardon me, but I don’t understand why you think it is the Church’s obligation to warn us of the toxicity of chocolate.

 

[rwoehmke]

Now there would be a real treat, chocolate mole hills infused with coconut and almonds. Yum!

 

[kmuestwin]

With a milk chocolate mole with carmel filling!

what Church do you know that sells chocolate at EAster? are you going to sue the wiccans because people buy chocolate at Halloween? if you have a problem call the FDA what in blue blazes does this have to do with the Church

anyone who gorged on any kind of food could likely have a fit, where is your medical proof the unfortunate incident was caused by chocolate? I would love to see this lawsuit proceed just to see the judge throw it out.

I’m a good guy, I share, you can have mine.

I’m allergic to chocolate…

I’d rather have the chocolate mountain, myself!

The Church isn’t responsible for idiots who eat what must have been 30 pounds or more of chocolate in one sitting. Chocolate contains caffeine and sugar, so there is probably a perfectly natural explanation for your brother’s symptoms.

And chocolate covered goats. They are unusually dangerous. One fainted on a friend’s foot once, & she has had a great fear of fainting chocolate goats ever since.
:newidea:Hey! Maybe she should sue the Amish farmer who raised the stupid thing in the first place!

St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, said that nothing God created could be ontologically evil, ie., evil of itself, evil of its nature. Those things might be used to perverted ends, of course, but that would not alter their nature. God made all the stuff that goes into chocolate, ergo none of the things that make up chocolate are evil, though chocolate can be used to an evil end (gluttony, etc.).
