Why is too much chocolate bad for you?

Chocolate candy has little to no cocoa in it. Therefore, any amount of chocolate is bad for you, though because we are fond of it, we like to think that a little is good. On the other hand, actual cocoa is a super food, and is the highest natural source of several minerals, and is high in vitamins. Even dark chocolate is processed to the point that it is not as good for you as doctors like to think.

Many additives in chocolate are not naturally edible, and are toxic. All processed foods are toxic to an extent.

What sushi fillings are there?

"Sushi is raw fish, sliced thin." -Steve8rox No, it isn't. It's a common misconception, but sushi is seasoned rice, not raw fish. It is often served with seafood which may be uncooked, but raw fish is called 'sashimi' Sushi rolls (make) can be filled with anything you like. Really. The little sushi blocks (nigiri) can be topped with anything. A butterfly'd cooked shrimp or a slice of smoked salmon are both popular. California rolls are 'make' made with avocado, cucumber and imitation crabmeat. I quite like smoked salmon and chargrilled red pepper. Also tuna marinated in soy, ginger, lime juice for a half hour, combined with spring onions is tasty. Go crazy, try anything! Try fusions: "Chinese style" duck with hoi sin sauce, spring onions and cucumber is good as is melon and prosciutto (Italian cured ham). I hope I have inspired you to try some out!

Why is there raw fish in sushi?

Sushi was invented thousands of years ago in Japan as a way to preserve raw, cleaned fish. It was pressed between rice and salt by a heavy stone for a few weeks, then covered with a lighter material until the fish fermented.

In the 18th century, a chef named Yohei Hanaya decided to skip the fermentation process and serve it on its own. Fresh sushi later became very popular.

Not all sushi has raw fish in it, like the California roll or the eel roll.
