it's Not Your Fault

Remember the old potato chip commercials with Bert Lahr, "Betcha Can't Eat Just One?" (You're OLD.) Anyway, science has taken a look at why we can't eat just one chip or cookie or candy and instead proceed to eat the whole package, and it's not psychological. No, it's actually physiological -- the brain's "reward centers" react to what we're seeing, smelling, and thinking when we see the food. It's all about pleasure. We don't NEED the food, but we WANT it, and it's a physical reaction. So stop feeling guilty and eat the damn Doritos already. (Sydney Morning Herald)
