Would you eat a Chocolate Frog?

Although I suppose the real question is "As a wizard, would you eat a Chocolate Frog?"
 

 As a Muggle however, I would find it strange to eat something that appears to be alive (kind of like eating a live goldfish).  A Chocolate Frog moves and flexes and jumps.
 

 A friend said she just thought of it as "enchanted candy" (which of course it is), so it wouldn't bother her.  For me though, candy that moves and acts the real thing would increase the Ew factor.
 

 Another thought: offhand I can't think of any realistic animal-shaped foods.  Chocolate bunnies, Swedish fish, and gummy bears don't really look their real-life counterparts.  A chocolate bunny that looked realistic might bother some.  Chocolate Frogs however are the same size and shape as real frogs (although brown instead of green).
 

 Or maybe if you grow up eating earwax-flavored and bogie-flavored jelly beans, then biting the head off of a pseudo-alive amphibian is no big deal.
 

 Despite all this, I made chocolate frogs (filled with peanut butter or apricot preserves) for DD's birthday party, and they were very good!  ($5 mold on amazon)  Very easy to make by microwaving chocolate chips.
