M&Ms are a wonderful thing. I used to eat them often until I became diabetic; no they were not the cause of my diabetes. They were great and I certainly had a favorite between plain and peanut. Plain or peanut; there can be only one.

As with all other chocolaty treats there is only one way to eat them. I repeat, there is only one way for to eat chocolaty treats. The only way to eat chocolate is plain. It matters not if the chocolate is M&M or other candy the chocolate must remain pure.

You must never corrupt the flavor of chocolate. There is nothing finer than chocolate for its own sake. Chocolate must be revered or you have no true love of the chocolate to begin with. Chocolate deserves to be worshiped. Worshiped I say!

Not enough people revere the chocolate. So, because they don't revere the chocolate they pollute it. They not only pollute the chocolate with peanuts but they insert all kinds of nonsense into the poor chocolate. Just open up one those boxes of chocolates that are tossed around without much thought at Christmas time. They are filled with all kinds of vile pollutants.

Pollutants abound in what people refer to as chocolates. These, my friends, are not chocolates. I'm not entirely certain what they should be called but they must never be referred to as chocolate again. Chocolates must be pure if they are to be referred to as chocolates.

Over the centuries, chocolates have been quite the delicacy. At some point some misguided fool decided to add things to it. Whatever could have possessed that illiterate, deaf, dumb and blind person to add anything at all to the chocolate? There is no real good answer to that question; except to say that there must have been some mental deficiency on the part of that particular chocolate maker.

Peanuts are a great thing on their own and they have a place in the world. I love peanuts; in fact they are the only nut I like. I eat peanuts whenever possible but never, I repeat never with chocolate M&M candy pieces. The sugary coating on top of the chocolate is edible but no one should even consider eating M&Ms that have been contain those vile pollutants peanuts.

People need to get over this idea that peanuts belong in any kind of chocolate not to mention M&Ms. Actually, people need to get over the thought that peanuts belong in any thing related to chocolate. M&M candies are great but only if they are peanut free. Peanut free is the key but those who can't see will continue to eat from the peanut tree.
