Sweet Treats Rule

I enjoy it when Tommy writes about surveys and the like on his blog....and I've found one that caught my eye. I found it online at LiveScience.com. It says despite our best intentions to eat something healthy, we often choose sugary snacks. Here's the deal...Dutch researchers asked 585 people to pick between four snacks : an apple, a banana, a candy bar and a molasses waffle. About half said they would choose the apple or banana. BUT when presented with the actual snacks a week later, 27- percent of those who had said they'd pick the fruit went for the candy or waffle. More than 90-percent who had initially made an unhealthy choice stuck with it. The researchers figure that while we are in control of our intentions, our actual choices are often made impulsively and unconsciously. What do you think? Personally I'd enjoy the fruit on the waffle! Wendy
