 KEEP THOSE CANDIES!

   We should keep these wonderful candies, because you can admit, do you really want to eat chocolate covered lettuce for the rest of your life? All of those things your parents tell you about how chocolate  will give you cavities?  Well guess what that is a myth! In this essay you will learn all of the true facts. For example, dark chocolate is good for you, some candies help you live a healthier, longer life, and how they are helpful to you and your body. So come on Michelle Obama, lets KEEP THOSE CANDIES!

  My first reason to keep the candies as is, is because dark chocolate can help you live longer. For example, a little bit of dark chocolate a day is good for you. Sadly, we cannot eat the whole bar. In addition, dark chocolate opens up blood vessels that go to and from the heart, so it is easier for the blood to flow. The blood is flowing and it ain’t stoppin! Lastly, a little bit  of chocolate can help a cough. It is a miracle, now you can be coughing-free! Furthermore, you can see that you should keep on eating these candies so unless you would like to die a year earlier we WILL KEEP THOSE CANDIES!

  The second reason to keep the candies as is, is because it helps you live a healthier life. Candies can help you prevent having a Heart Attack or Stroke by 30-40%! Would you want to die from Heart Attack or Stroke because you didn’t eat a Hershey's or Mars candy for the rest of your life. John Q. Tullis says “Nine out of ten people don’t like chocolate and the tenth person always lies…” that shows that he and many, many, many others like chocolate. Why do you want everyone to be upset Michelle Obama? We all want our chocolate if you CAN’T TELL! On the other hand, did you know that some types of candies can help you slim down? Those candies are GoNaturally Organic Candies, Surf Sweet Jelly Beans, Unreal 8, Sweetrlot Cacao Nibs, Skinny Cow Divine Filled Chocolates, and YumEarrth Organic Sour Worms! Losing weight just got yummier everyone! Another reason to keep the candies as is shows, when the scientists at Hartford found that candy can help you live longer by about a year! Now who here does not trust the scientists at Hartford? To conclude, KEEP THE CANDIES!

     My last reason to keep the candies as is, is some candies are helpful to you. For example, peppermints keep you alert while driving, so it would be unlikely to crash your car. Hershey produces York, which are a mint filling on the inside and a light chocolate coating on the outside. This is important because now you can be a York lover and a worry-free driver. In addition, cotton candy helps you restore lost blood cells. Who knew, that a sugary, sticky food like this could actually work in your favor?  This proves that you can eat delicious foods and still be healthy. Did you know that gum can help you concentrate on a test, help your ears on an airplane, and reduce stress. Everyone, we have found a solution to stress, tests, and airplanes, so keep calm, AND CHEW ON!

        

     Can you see why everyone should EAT CANDY      ! Most people think chocolate is good, but not good for them, so now you know, don’t be guilty! Everyone loves it and has a sweet spot for it. Have you wanted to stop eating candy? NO! Why are you letting a president- no that’s Barack Obama- first lady chose that for you? We all need a little love Michelle Obama, and as Charles M. Schulz said, “All we need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.”
