My friend Jodi and I sat digesting a fat laden, artery clogging, heart attack inducing lunch promising ourselves we would never eat like that again. We didn't either, that is until the dessert tray was brought to our attention. Loaded with luscious cheesecakes, scrumptious pies and tantalizing tortes we suddenly found room in our overstuffed stomachs. We rationalized we had parked almost a half mile away and partially up hill; surely we would walk off some, or maybe even most of the calories. Unfortunately we were scarcely able to move, so we sat and had a cappuccino while our bodies broke down the large quantities of sustenance received over the past hour. Who were we kidding? We knew we wold have to have parked in another country to walk off all we ingested -- and we also knew we would gladly do the same thing next week. If we know smoking pollutes our lungs, sunbathing ages us and eating like a cow could cause us to look like one, why do we insist these things will never happen? If the options are True or False, why do we try to fill in the blank? Do human impulses overwhelm human rationale?
