In my “battles” to control the late-night appetite, I often perceive any attractive food as a clear-n-present danger. Even sweet fruits can open the flood gate.

Let’s be critical and evaluate the health impact:

• these foods are better than –> visible fat like beacon, butter, mayo
• these foods are more nutritious than –> alcohol
• these foods are not harmful like –> tobacco
• these foods are not comparable to –> opium

— “These foods”… Home-cooked food [esp. starch] is the primary example, and represent about half the attractive foods in my “home battles”.
