it's not "just sugar". according to nutrition labels, clif bars contain about the same amount of sugar as kit kat bars. for many years, i ate two daily clif bars. one day, i just stopped eating clif bars. zero cravings. chocolate has been *really* hard as f**k to give up.
some articles claim that chocolate has the same impact on the brain as "love".
it's the chocolate.
all things equal, i feel emotionally better when i eat chocolate than when i do not eat chocolate, in the short term.
not all things equal.
short term sometimes differs from long term.
