I'll admit it. I was the stick thin girl in high school that everyone thought was anorexic who now gets asked by strangers when the fat around my middle that they mistake for a baby is due. Most of the weight gain is due to the pill, although I would be lying if I denied that my steady diet of sugar and fried foods and complete apathy toward exercise weren't also factors. I've been trying for years to lose 15 pounds, but since I refuse to give up chocolate candy, chocolate candy bars, chocolate cake, chocolate donuts, hot fudge, brownies and anything Coldstone, I haven't been real successful.
And then I watched this video yesterday. I think these reporters at CBS 11 successfully cured my lifelong chocolate addiction in under five minutes! A warning: this video isn't for the squeamish. But for those of you serious about shedding a few pounds, we might be on to something here! Every time I am craving chocolate from now on, I am just going to watch this video instead! It uses sheer repulsion to abate hunger pangs (or chocolate cravings). It is amazing how effective it is. I haven't wanted chocolate for an entire day and counting after just watching this video once. At this rate, I'll be back down to a size 4 in no time!
Lab Tests Reveal More Than Just Sweets in Candy

For some reason my computer is not letting me open up the link but I need to watch it!! I just opened a box of Junior Mints with the intention of eating just a few and the box is half gone, oops:)
Interesting video. Although it didn't put me off of chocolate.
I'd be interested to see them do that kind of study on anything else we eat: cereal, yogurt, crackers, etc.
I think you'd find much of the same in all that stuff.
In these factories, a lot of the stuff sits in open vats as its processed and made into the products we buy, so I think it would be impossible to protect against the kind of stuff they found.
The cat hair is kind of funny, though.
Carolee, sorry you couldn't open the link. The video basically says that the reporters found insect parts and other foreign debris in name brand chocolates.
And Jillian, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder what the results would look like if they tested other products? And I agree that there's probably no way to avoid this...I still find it disgusting though. :)
I'm too scared to look...
