my personal experience
which seems to be emulated by other park-people here
causes this reaction to your message:
nunh-unh! nope! wrongo-bongo!
as one who has been interested in food for thirty years
as a former and fallen and now re-birthing vegetarian,
as a puritanical healthy food 'nut',
as an adelle davis acolyte,
as a wannabe restaurateur,
as a 'gourmet' home cook,
as a survivor of 'diets',
nothing in my experience prepared me for this sugar craving
as an adult, i had never considered eating a chocolate bar all at once
as something particularly appealing or particularly 'satisfying'
more like - yukk! - too sweet! - sickening! - bleahhhhh!
but the shoe has definitely transferred to
an altogether different limb
of a different colour
i could eat two maybe even three chocolate bars in a row now
and feel simply contented
