All fatties must eat boring food.

[FluffyMcDeath]

You are ADDICTS!!! RAVING ADDICTS I TELL YOU!!!!

(Maybe I'll make a movie about the kind of people who smoke big fat burgers - I'll call it "Beefer Madness")

And WHY are fatties addicts? Because nummy nummy nummy food is ...... addicting!

But at least you have a scientific reason for why nummy nummy food entubbifies you and also a scientific reason why it sucks to not eat it.

It's also a good scientific reason to go back to eating the boring kind of food I used to eat when I was a bachelor - before I started eating the tasty yummy food my wife makes.

Totally unrelated, but your post got me thinking of this:

So Fluffy the trick may be to trade one drug for another. Lower the dopamine response by eating boring food. Increase the endorphin high by running. Net effect positive.

I, like most people, have a weakness for french fries. But anything fried upsets my stomach and bloats me for the next day or so. Not pleasant. I force myself to never buy fries and I even avoid burgers in general. But if someone else has fries and offers me some it's hard to resist when they're right there in front of you. I then regret it and promise myself to never eat another french fry again. Doesn't that sound like the behavior of an alcoholic?

So ya, nothing in that article surprises me.
