Yeah even as an American I've noticed "decadent" used this way. Not just chocolate, you see it with many sweets or other calorie dense foods. Hell Starbucks has become one of the most ubiquitous companies in the world largely due to the popularity/markup of its breakfast milkshakes. I guess the idea with "decadent" is something like "this is your rare and entirely sinful reward for your hard work maintaining your overall health with your generally sensible choices in what you eat." Kindof like a dietary lent. Meanwhile 40% of the US adult population is obese. 40%. That is absolutely staggering. There's nothing "decadent" about eating food that is nutritionally poor here...it's entirely normal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_States
