“Without pain, how could we know joy?’ This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate.”

LOVE IT! I don’t know as to how it applies to other aspects of philosophy and other human endeavors, but have no doubt as to its veracity relative to chocolate and broccoli. :-d!

swooning when I should be definitely not thinking about chocolate chips since that’s all I’ve got just now… just delicious!!
I’m with you!
Now personnally, I prefer the broccoli!
Only you Joe would choose broccoli over chocolate 🙂
I love this. I wish my husband could see it. He sided with President Bush on the broccoli issue and never saw anything chocolate he didn’t like. The problem is your picture looked so real I almost chose a piece before I gained control.
Yum! That luscious picture has me wanting to race out in my car to the nearest candy counter.
