Which Dark Chocolate Is Best?

By Jorge Cruise / February 06, 2012

Attention, dieters: You don't have to cut out the things you love in order to lose weight or achieve a healthier lifestyle. You just have to make smart choices. When it comes to chocolate, be sure to select a quality dark chocolate over any other kind. Dark chocolate has antioxidant benefits and relatively low sugar content (compared to other types of chocolate). The antioxidant quality comes from the phenols in the cocoa plant – these free-radical fighting compounds have proven to lower blood pressure and cholesterol.

The brand I recommend is Green & Black's Organic Dark 85%. A whopping 12 pieces of this rich, decadent chocolate has just 5 grams of sugar. Compare that to other popular brands like Hershey's, which has about 19 grams of sugar for the same serving size. Dark chocolate has even proven to help suppress appetite when eaten a few hours before a meal. So go ahead and indulge!
Take Action:
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! Further, Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - Take Action:
    political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"

NJ Assembly schedules gay marriage vote
Feb. 6, 2012  /  Asbury Park Press - AP 

TRENTON -- The leader of the New Jersey Assembly announced Monday that a bill allowing gay marriage would be put to a vote next week, as Democratic leaders continued to wrangle the support needed to ensure passage.

Assembly Democrats met privately for 90 minutes primarily on gay marriage before Speaker Sheila Oliver announced the vote on Feb. 16. That's three days after the Senate is scheduled to vote on an identical bill granting same-sex couples the right to marry civilly in New Jersey.

Oliver told The Associated Press on Friday that the caucus meeting would be the first formal survey of legislators on the issue. But afterward, three legislators who were in the meeting said no head count had been taken. Oliver did not speak publicly after the session.

"Leadership is confident that the votes are there," Assemblyman Reed Gusciora, D-Trenton, one of two openly gay Assembly members and a sponsor of the bill.

Gusciora, who last week put the vote total at 34 in favor, said the number has been rising since. He projected that the Assembly would get to the 41 votes needed for passage, but acknowledged Monday that "the final one or two" votes were still being rounded up. At least six Democrats were absent from the meeting, according to the three who were inside.

Six other states and Washington, D.C. allow gay marriage, while 30 states have adopted constitutional amendments defining marriage as a union between man and woman.

Democrats in New Jersey have made gay marriage a priority for this legislative session.

Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican and practicing Catholic who opposes gay marriage, has vowed to veto the bill if it reaches his desk. He wants the issue decided by popular vote instead. Democrats oppose that idea, saying gay nuptials is a civil right guaranteed by the constitution and should not be subject to public vote.

Christie garnered unwelcome attention when -- in trying to explain his position -- he equated gay marriage to the struggle for civil rights and said people in the civil rights movement would have been happy to have the matter settled by referendum rather than dying in the streets of the South. The governor then called Gusciora "numb nuts" after the lawmaker said Christie would have found allies in segregationist Southern governors.

Gusciora said he and the governor plan to meet this week. The meeting had been set for Monday, but was postponed because of celebration planning after the New York Giants won Sunday's Super Bowl.

Christie's opposition to the bill means Republican lawmakers will be hard-pressed to cross the governor and vote for it.

Republicans were not privy to Monday's Democratic caucus, where no one spoke in opposition to the bill.

"This was an opportunity for leadership to stress the importance of the vote," said Gusciora. "What was stressed was a unified vote on the 16th."

That could be difficult for those with religious convictions or constituencies who oppose gay marriage. It becomes an even more difficult vote for some, knowing that the governor plans to veto the bill.

Democrats need 27 votes in the Senate and 54 in the Assembly for veto-proof majorities. Democrats would need help from Republicans in each house to override a Christie veto. No Christie veto has been overridden.

Democrats failed to get gay marriage through the Legislature in 2010, even though a lame-duck Democrat, Gov. Jon Corzine, was ready to sign it. The Senate managed 14 votes of the 21 needed; the bill never came to a vote in the Assembly.

Garden State Equality, the state's most vocal gay rights group, is advocating for the legislation while pursuing a parallel course in the courts. The organization and same-sex couples have sued, arguing that the state's civil union law -- which provides for the legal benefits of marriage without the title -- is flawed. The case is pending.
