Why you can’t say no to chocolate and why you’ll always start your diet tomorrow (medium.com) 2 points by goncalogordo 8y ago ↗ HN
[–] eesmith 8y ago ↗ I'll summarize it as "because your body, as the result of evolution, yearns for energy-dense foods."Thing is, I read this article thinking it might try to explain why I have a much harder time saying no to chocolate than to other sweet treats.This model is also too simplistic. It does not explain why don't I eat sugar straight from the bag.Overall, a disappointingly pedestrian read.
