The alternative is trying to herd up enough non-chocolate eaters which doesn't bear thinking about.
Speaking of studies, I found this on a box of chocolates:

"The aroma of chocolate has a distracting, and at the same time calming effect on people. Furthermore, it is suggested that increased brain activity occurs. The aroma of chocolate suppresses the so-called theta-waves. It also causes increased alpha and beta activity. Alpha activity is observed manly in people who are in rest but indeed awake."

I´m a little bit afraid of eating more of it now.....
