> turn the continuous scale into a dichotomous "high chocolate love" vs. "low chocolate love"-
That's usually a bad idea, and I would not even consider that option.
If I understand your description correctly, you have two explanatory variables: (1) a quantitative variable (chocolate likeness), and (2) a categorical variable (food preference). This is a very basic and simple scenario from the modeling perspective. One clarification is still needed though: Does chocolate likeness change between the two food preferences?
