    Find the darkest non-sweetned chocalate you can, and tell your daughter it’s an anti-oxidant [which chocolate is] that some older people eat. Provided she doesn’t like it, you then keep that wrapper, and insert other chocolate into it when you’re having an illegal mid-week nibble of a night.
    It’s an old plan, but it might just work.

I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]
