    I also don't keep Doritos in the house for that reason. I will eat 100% of the Doritos on hand.

    Would be nice to imagine being a person with better self control, but I'm not. We don't have as much control over our reward pathways as we think, but sometimes we have control over what our reward pathways are exposed to.

          @cwebber maybe a little unrelated but that’s also why advertisment should be way way more regulated 😑

                @cwebber I can’t keep cookies in the house. I turn blue, fuzzy, and get googly eyes.
