From this week’s Time magazine, Dr. Andrew Weil:
“We do not understand food cravings and where they come from. I suspect there is a great deal of social and cultural conditioning involved. For example, it is popular to argue that chocolate is addictive and point out that women often crave it uncontrollably, especially after [...]
Many thanks to my friend Annette (jeez, I’ve mentioned her name on here about eight times in the last few days–she should go get her own blog) for alerting me to this critical new scientific discovery.
Which makes it all the more important that you do this.

I got home from Oregon late, late last night, and what should I find waiting for me? A huge box of chocolates, just like the kind I’ll send you if you win my Monthly Free Chocolate Drawing.
