“For Mr. Berggruen, chocolate is a primary food group. He eats two meals a day, one which usually consists of chocolate cake.”
Who is this Mr. Berggruen that The Wall Street Journal detailed the dieting habits of?
No, he’s not a spoiled preschooler. Nor is he a nutritionally deficient idiot.
Nicolas Berggruen is a brilliant investor, ferocious visionary, and restless spirit. He is 46 years-old and worth over $3 billion. His values are even richer. After selling all his homes and scaling back his possessions, he plans to devote most of his time and wealth towards solving the world’s social problems, including finding alternative energy sources, increasing farming productivity, and designing projects to combat inner city decay.
Let’s go back to his diet of chocolate because the world spends billions and billions of dollars just to understand what we should be eating to be healthy and happy. Though no statements were given from Mr. Berggruen’s primary care physician or dentist, I have to believe that he’s healthy enough to think big and actually do bigger. He certainly has to be happy enough to give it all back to the world, while only living out of hotels too.
So if “you are what you eat,” we civilians, for the most part, are what? Going bananas? Are we chicken? We’re being milked by an industry that promotes losing pounds with the cost of losing dollars. Are we nuts? Yes! We’re soy nuts in fact, and we’re in quite a pickle because despite our greatest efforts and on-going learnings, our health and happiness seem to stay in a vegetative state.
Mr. Berggruen, on the other hand, is rich German chocolate cake. He’s a PayDay! A Mr. Goodbar! A 100 Grand (times 30,000)!
Mmmmm chocolate anyone? Think about it. Your first brilliant investment could happen as early as today at the vending machine.

Well, this is my favorite blog so far! Of course, I love food, so it speaks to me; haha. Now that I just ate a huge lunch, I am ready for a slice of this rich German chocolate cake that you speak of!
Hello. I think you could also make more of it through a bigger exposure about “te Coin at Truby Blog”. Perhaps you can have some german chocolate cake.
Hello webmaster. Not totally agree with you, but you just gave me an idea for a new eBook regarding \”te Coin at Truby Blog\”. It is related to chocolate industry news. Thanks.
yes Xocai is really a healthy chocolate that is good for you, it\’s called healthy because there is a really low fat content, it\’s natural unprocessed dark chocolate plus it\’s low in sugar and kosha…what more do you want??
Yes most definitely unprocessed dark chocolate can be full of antioxidants and is low in sugar and fat plus A franchise can and does normally include a significant financial outlay now there is an alternative. Xocai is low in fat and sugar and fine for diabetics so it is the perfect healthy snack food and it\’s delicious it is also a great business opportunity
