I was weak. I took fries instead of salad for lunch. But... I only ate half of them, and the last ones I was "why am I still eating those?" So... Was I good, or bad?

Yes.

Stopping yourself takes more self-control than not getting them in the first place. You did very well!

Fries're weird; I don't really like 'em most of th'time 'cept as somethin' t'carry salt t'my mouth, but they're kinda addictive anyway.

Well-made fries are amazing. There used to be a little Provençal French bistro in Seattle that that THE ABSOLUTE BEST pommes frites I've ever had. Bad fries are sad, like a cake left in the rain.

Yah, there's some fries're good.

Oh, I know. I had bad frieds. I had great fries. I usually prefer my fries big, crispy, with mayo. But today... I just had too many, and didn't feel the need to eat them all. Problem is... The salad usually

isn't that good. I wonder if I could have gotten half of each... Probably not. I might make me a tomato and cucumber salad tonight. That would be great!

There was an article I jes saw sayin' that we're programmed t'eat high-energy foods even when we don't really like 'em: it jes kinda bypasses our taste buds.

Yep. Easily stored for when the food isn't as readily available. Problem is, for most people in the developed world, food is always available! (I say "most" cause some poor people can't afford healthy food.)
