Personally I don't care about the origins of the holiday or whether it's marketing. Easter and chocolate go hand in hand for me.
Pretty sure I saw something a while ago about how engagement rings are a thing because of marketing. When was the last time you saw someone get engaged with out a ring? Never for me, whether it's marketing or not these things have become traditions.0 -

Also do you guys not have a day to let kids dress up and force adults to give them candy??? It's like an integral part of life!0 -

If chocolate is part of your family tradition, that's one thing. But is it really the whole point of the holiday for you? Really?
He said he's not religious, so that's not really fair.
Also, enjoying food traditions doesn't mean that something is the whole point of the holiday. I wouldn't pass up Christmas dinner or lamb at Easter, but that doesn't mean I think it's what the religious aspect of the holidays are about.0 -
I just finished my Christmas and Valentine chocolate this week.
If I have my own Easter chocolate then I will eat in in small amounts over the course of weeks or months.

Ditto this sentiment.
It's at times like this that I'm really, really grateful that I'm in no way religious.

It wouldn't be MFP if arguements didn't break out on unrelated topics 0 -
So if I understand so far with my chocolate question, I should eat a some while saving some and giving some away to some wiccans and then go trick or treating while throwing a turkey at Christians?
Did I miss something? One of the unrelated arguements?

OP, my condolences on your thread being hijacked.
Also wanted to chime in that my experience here in the northeastern US, Easter is a very chocolatey holiday. The chocolate bunnies & eggs, pastel colored versions of every candy bar, peeps, etc are all over the supermarkets and drug stores, on every desk in the office, and despite my age still get candy from my parents and my aunt.
I would allow yourself a little extra on the holiday, then portion it out and have a little guilt-free every day. Especially the bite-size stuff, take a portion and then close it up and put it away, so you don't "accidentally" end up eating the whole thing while watching TV. I try to do the same with the Christmas candy. And the Valentines candy. And the Halloween candy.

If I was a troll I might have been happy with this thread, minimal effort, caused fighting and people getting reported.

LOL, that should pretty much cover it.
But then again you could always skip all the religious angst and just eat the chocolate in peace...within your calorie goals.
That's probably what I'd do.

Lol we could all move over to the "eating in the shower" thread
I've been bouncing between the two all day

I never really thought of Easter as a major food holiday, but I guess it could be. It's in the Spring, so it usually means a lot of outdoors activities, like hiking, etc. I suppose there's a bit of candy, too, but it's well within calories, since I'm usually pretty active.0

Chocolate egg with a plastic egg inside that has a toy that normally requires some assembly.

Sounds like you have let your inner child die
what's better than chocolate? Chocolate and a toy!

Ohhhh. I don't think they are specifically banned, they just aren't sold anywhere. We had them around when I was (forgot what they were called). They yanked off the shelves one year and since then I don't think I've seen them around.0

Nah, how about...chocolate and a great publicity shot of Hugh Laurie?
Yup, inner child dead all right...replaced by different forms of entertainment!

They were taken off the shelves because parents weren't happy with have non-edible items into something edible because kids couldn't tell the difference and were choking on them.0

So you've mastered time travel and will share the secret us so we can just "skip" days?0 -
If chocolate is such a big thing for you during Easter, then just eat some that day, save some for later.
Click only if you want a laugh.0
