miracle cures and panaceas

Every day Jimbo pores through the available medical literature to find a miracle cure for what ails mankind, and frequently the same panacea jumps up and says, “Eat me.”

I am, of course, talking about chocolate and I am beginning to wonder whether the secret to health and longevity is only as far away as that candy dish in the living room. I read today more good news about what helpful things chocolate can do for us, but before I discuss that, I’d like to review some of my previous revelations.

I read this morning that consumption of dark chocolate and all of those miracle “flavonoids” improves cardiovascular performance in healthy young people. Good news if you ask me. When enough research is done and all the facts come out, we can dispense with eating everything but chocolate. Dear God, it’s a miracle.

Now, I’m beginning to wonder if I leapt to an incorrect conclusion earlier this week when I blamed the M&Ms for the largesse of my abdomen instead of the obvious culprit, the salads I ate last week and early this week.

I don’t know about you, but rather than wait for all of the data to come in years from now, I’m going to head downstairs to the living room and that bowl of M&Ms and ask them to forgive me for all those bad things I said about them. Then I will have an intimate relationship with them, in much the same way that Homer Simpson interacts with donuts.

It’s Sunday morning in Jimbo’s world, and all is well.
