It's programming. We are trained like dogs, you do good and you get sweetness in your mouth for 5 seconds, and it works, because this starts when we are children. A piece of candy and a pat on the bac

Great perspective. I never realized my Pops was ringing the bell at the parts store. But in so many words....... Scott

Again, not implying that our parents were with ill intent, in fact, it is how I raised my son at the time. Good behavior led always to a sugary treat. I have since educated him about food and he is ea

This was sparked by the thread on 'still having cravings'.
We have a local parts store that is one of the old school stores where the guy behind the counter has built a small block Chevrolet, changes his own oil and turns his own wrenches, a true mom and pop place. I have been going there since I was a kid with my Pops, so much so, they call me by my Pops name more than they do mine. Old school place of business.
There has been a gum ball machine in that place since I was a little boy. I would dig a nickel out of the ash tray every time we went as a kid. When I built my first motor at 18 I used a dime to get a gum ball and never failed to get one on each trip.
Recently I started back on my 1950 Chevrolet truck and went to the parts store. Maybe the first time since Carnivore. As I walked in the door I never blinked, popped in a quarter and was already chewing before I thought about 'sugar' and 'cravings' and 'addictions' and anything of the sort. Just simply did what I have been doing for nearly 50 years.
I think it tasted good til my brain caught up with my actions and then it didn't taste all that good.
I pretty much did the same thing with steak sauce a few months ago.
Anyway, a quick funny I guess. I doubt the gum ball will be my gateway drug to a 'sugar-crazed-addiction', or at least I hope not. LOL
Muscle memory can come in crazy ways.
