It’s been suggested that I might need to make a slight alteration to my diet in order to make sure that I’m getting sufficient iron intake. Okay, I did some research, it makes sense. So what do I eat to increase my iron intake?
Let me summarize:
Image: from some really gross website talking about how liver is some sort of “superfood”
I could eat about 8 oz of liver every day. Apparently it’s chock FULL of iron.
Or…

I could eat two bags of this every day.
This must be some sort of sick and twisted trick question. I don’t get it.
To be healthier, would I like to eat liver every day or eat two bags of dark chocolate every day?
There’s got to be a catch, but for the life of me I can’t see it. The percentages of the daily recommended dose of iron add up just the same.
YOU CAN’T ARGUE WITH MATH!!
If you need me, I’ll be over here elevating my iron levels (and probably my blood glucose levels) into the stratosphere.

Are you going to share—not the liver, the dark chocolate

Do you have iron-poor blood? Like weak, sickly, wasting away me? I’m only eating the chocolate for medicinal purposes!!!

Liver, along with all entrails, is a disgusting option. Coming from the south, fried liver was a staple in my home – of which I would never partake. I say go for the chocolate EVERY TIME! I mean, how is that even a question??

What kills me is all of the legit articles about iron-rich food that all start with liver and then have one semi-disgusting option after another, only to end with, “#15 Oh, yeah, we should mention that dark chocolate works too.”

They don’t want the secret to get out, but they’re obligated to mention it.
