Slaves to Chocolate

By Lynn Phillips on November 26, 2009 in Dream On

Do I have a bad low-end gourmet chocolate habit that I can break by force of will, or am I enslaved by chocolate's merciless molecules? And if I'm in denial about my chocolate habit, exactly what about it am I refusing to face?

Phew

Interesting research. I'm definitely a foodaholic but not a chocoholic. I stick to the savory stuff. Does that mean I'm morally superior, even as I pack on the pounds? ;)
