Risking Attention

As far as I know, I am talking to myself. And my friend Kim. So with that said, I must say the echo in here is drowned out pretty well by the vacuous space surrounding it. So if you are out there, foodie peoples follow me and see where this leads. I cannot tell a lie. I am totally inspired by Julie Powell in Julie and Julia, though at the same time I have to agree with Julia Child's reaction: Julie is using Julia Child's hours of hard work to capitalize on her own narcissism...though it is clear it didn't start like that. What a funny world that people can easily access your work and assess your character based on what you choose to put into the world.

With that said, I would like to invite readers to comment on something of which I have just become aware, and that is a (fairly) new product call Xocai (Show-Sie). This is raw chocolate at its finest it seems. Someone decided to capitalize on the the raw cacao tip, and has patented a cold-press process that keeps the cacao berry under 110°F at all times, making sure the bio-flavinols and the anti-oxidants are not destroyed n the process. The result? A piece of chocolate, sweetened with stevia, acai and blueberry powder, that has higher antioxidant ratings than anything else. Pomegranate doesn't even come close. Oh and it helps you lose weight by curbing your appetite, helps diabetics lowers cholesterol, tastes good and its chocolate.

So, if anyone has any good reason as to why this isn't a good product, please let me know.... because otherwise, you ought to talk to me and see how you too can get a hold of something that for now seems almost too good to be true.
