[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Processed food is LITERALLY made to be addictive. The simple carbs of breads and cookies stoke cravings in some people that are an actual physical addiction. Read the threads about people giving up sugar and going through withdrawal.

I remember watching a news show like 60 minutes and they were in a big food corporation. They had vials and vials of flavors and smells that they were showing off, all with the end game of producing snack food that was delicious but somehow left people craving more. This was actually stated by the food scientists.

Sorry for the slight threadjack, but it makes me crazy when people start talking about willpower and moral failings and don't address the widespread and insidious manipulation of the American food supply.

I can't believe folks have glossed over this comment. It is so true for so many of us. Thank you for posting.[/quote]

This is totally true but its not really what I grapple with.  95% of the "junk" I eat is stuff I make myself. I love to bake and host often, so am constantly baking bread and making baked goods. Other than ice cream, I cant remember the last time I had a store-bought cookie, chips, etc. [/quote]

Same with me.  As a matter of fact, I eat NO processed foods and don't eat wheat.

My vice is savory foods. I cook a lot of indian food, which contains copious amounts of oil, salt, and rice. I enjoy nuts and eat too many. I make my own yogurt and nothing will do except whole. I even make my own salad dressing and buy Avocados at Costco and inhale those.

My hunger seems to have limited abilities to turn "off".[/quote]
