Food companies have entire teams of scientists just to keep you craving and buying more. Texture is one of those things. Right down to how much force it requires to chew. There was an article not to long ago about this. A former food company scientist that quit because he felt wrong basically making ways to get people addicted to products so the company could make more profit. It was very interesting.

I will eat when I'm bored, lonely or anxious...so basically I just eat!::sad:0

Texture does make a huge difference! One key for me has been getting my favorite textures from healthier foods. (Creamy avocados or bananas, crunchy carrots and celery)0

I'll have to read that. Crunchy texture is what I crave more than anything. I won't need chocolate or chips - I'll need something crunchy with either sweet or salty flavor.0

After a long mentally draining workday, this article is just waaaayyyyy too long for me to even think about reading LMBO I did skim some of it however. I don't know if I agree or disagree. I snack according to my moods. Sometimes, I crave salty crunchy snacks, and other days I crave sugary chewy snacks, and some days I crave cold stuff (ice cream or smoothies). Maybe they should do a study on my personal eating habits LOL My solution is to either give in to a crave or ignore it altogether and don't even buy what I really want to eat. I have no middle ground :-(0

The ultimate decision, smooth peanut butter or chunky peanut butter???
Not at all, the ultimate decision is: Soft bacon or crispy bacon0
