We all like chocolate. In fact, the Kit Kat chocolate bar is so popular that the British eat forty seven of them every second! But what exactly is chocolate and where does it come from? And is it good for us or bad for us? Perhaps you know the history of chocolate. Like the potato, it comes from South America. The Spanish people brought it to Europe as a drink. It was so expensive that only rich people could buy it. The idea of making it into bars came later so it became popular as a sweet only in the 1850s. Why do we like chocolate so much? Of course, it tastes good, but there are other reasons. There is something in chocolate which makes us happy. And it gives us a lot of energy. But it's also so rich in calories that you can put on weight if you eat it all the time. Is it good or bad for us? Well, some scientists say that chocolate is very healthy, that it isn't bad for your heart or your skin and that's it even good for your teeth. Other people think that you shouldn't eat it at all. The truth is somewhere in the middle. You shouldn't eat chocolate all the time but it's too tasty to say no!
