Fatty Foods May Cause Cocaine-Like Addiction

WrongSizeGlass writes "A new study in rats suggests that high-fat, high-calorie foods affect the brain in much the same way as cocaine and heroin. The rats that gorged themselves on the human food quickly became obese."

Cocaine and heroin are nothing alike either. The author is probably some fat sedentary tortoise who cannot accept responsibility for his huge heaving bulk, and is looking for a fatty-tailored excuse that amounts to nothing more than "the devil made me eat it".

>>> It also has a yummy crunch texture when properly prepared

I HATE crunchy bacon. Went to a friend's house and the difference in how he prepared the bacon, and how I prepared it was striking. I hang my bacon on a kind of "tray" and then nuke it in the microwave so the fat drips off. He threw a bunch of bacon in a pan and let it fry it its own juices.

What came out was so fatty I almost threw up. Yuck.

BTW if you like bacon and want a healtier alternative, try turkey bacon. Tastes the same (smoke flavored), but has almost no fat. And you can eat it with your cholesterol-free Egg Beaters. ;-)

>>>like a carnivore potato chip.

I recently tried Lays Baked potato chips. They were so bland. I suppose they are a healthier alternative to the saturated fat found in normal potato chips, but still need some work. I prefer the fat-free Pringles.
