Wouldn't Rav Shimon Shkop (and others) argue that any oneg that is
used for the sake of avodas Hashem is not a mussar issue? IOW, enjoy
your chocolate until you realized you are eating chocolate for its own
sake, rather than because the pick-me-up would be useful in order to
face / continue facing <fill in the blank>.
Want to discuss the mussar of eating white veal?
:-)BBii!

I wonder whether there is a concept that just because you can afford to do something, and it is not specifically forbidden, it doesn't mean it is preferred to do it? A Kosher trip I recently saw advertised "The Best, No Matter What The Cost", should this be considered appropriate?
