This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings. (files.catbox.moe)

Reducing obesity.

With a chocolate bar? I see it has less refined sugar, but it could still have the same amount of sugar.

refined sugars are processed by the digestive system faster and are turned to fat.

When reducing unhealthy food in your diet, having less-bad alternatives to the unhealthy thing you're craving can be a big help as your metabolism adjusts to the new diet.

For a personal example I've been greatly reducing sugar in my diet and sometimes I just crave something sweet. I've found ice cream to be the least sugary option, and I consume less sugar by having a bowl of ice cream than I would by having a few chocolates. My wife has a significant soda drinking habit and when she really craves a soda she's been turning to the Poppi and Olipop sodas as less-bad alternatives
