Hmm. To add to the pile of anecdata, I keep snacks in my desk in case I need something to eat and forget to bring my lunch (or a big enough lunch).
Several of my co-workers have expressed surprise, and stated that they "can't" keep snacks in their desk, or they'd have everything eaten by the end of the day. I'm skeptical about this, but I'm not one to argue.
For myself, I'm deliberately an "intuitive eater", which generally starts out with "I CAN EAT ANYTHING I WANT WHENEVER I WANT?? TWINKIES BOX, HERE I COME" and eventually stabilizes into genuinely only eating when hungry because there's no longer any reward/guilt dings associated with the food.
Maybe, in context of this conversation, there are "intuitive readers"??? Not sure that the analogy isn't stretching it, though. Someone call the Analogy Police.
