Why do we do it???

We've all heard a million times how bad too much sugar is for you, how terrible processed foods are, blah blah.... But we continue to cram it down and stuff ourselves til we're about to burst! It's all in the name of a holiday, right?

Today's suspect: Valentine's swap at work - a spitting image of elementary school.

Exhibit A: The superhero cards stouting "You're a cool cat!" etc... Prepping you up and getting you excited to eat candy!

Exhibit B: Mounds and mounds of various candy. Chocolate, warheads, suckers, Nerds, Wonka Razapplemagic Fun Dips, etc

Now, if only we could have that extremely full, I-think-I-might-vomit feeling BEFORE we eat an entire bag of Heart Shaped candy - then the true culprit could be brought to justice! Until then... *barf*
