Chuck chocs for February

Sir, This is a call out to all chocoholics, cocoa bean lovers and confectionery enthusiasts.

A suggestion, a plea, an idea that will exercise willpower and strength while helping those in Scotland who are living with heart and circulatory diseases - Dechox!

I am asking the people of Scotland to forget the ordinary New Year detoxes, which attempt to banish all pleasure during the darkest months of the year and, instead, just cut one beloved item from your pantry throughout February – chocolate.

We are all familiar with the struggle of saying ‘no’ to the leftover chocolates sitting on the coffee table. But, by standing up to heart and circulatory disease and saying ‘no’ to chocolate this February, we’ll be one step closer to beating heartbreak forever.
