Fiction author Robin Brande talks about writing, reading, and other vital matters

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 disappointments in love or before their periods [or while waiting to hear about their book deals--RB]. While that may be true of American women, the urge is not universal. Spanish women don’t yearn for chocolate; they crave cream puffs.”

CREAM PUFFS? ARE YOU INSANE?

I used to think Dr. Weil was so smart. Ditto Spanish women.
