Big eater too here!One important thing to say about anything that contains cocoa though is that it blocks certain minerals from absorbing.
What you mention is about the high occurence of phytate. this is partly overcome by fermentation and roasting, traditional method of the people who had no lab to figure it out... but they did notice!
So I would say just stay apart from what raw foodist say, and never eat so called raw chocolate.
People had good reasons for cooking Some foods! Though I agree with a high % of raw, I only eat raw what can be eaten raw. I hate cooked mangoes....
EDIT:
Gosh, @chrismeyers , I have to edit, as I wrote without Reading you!
I let it like this, just to convince more...
I love the way you wrote it....
I am quite surrounded by vegans and raw eaters, and so strange that some really cured themselves by this diet...
I just think it should not be kept forever,
...and that 100% should not be the goal of anything in life.
