Me too but then I also know that I don't crave carbs in general. I remember
some book that was out in the 80's. Had a test in it to see if you were a
carb addict. I was not. But my mom was and pretty much everyone else that I
showed the book to was as well.

I am a picky eater. I might attempt to eat an Oreo cookie if I were
literally starving to death. Not sure I could actually accomplish the task.
Last time I did try to eat one, I had to spit it out and rinse my mouth out.
And yet... That was one food that the book specifically mentioned.
Apparently quite a few people would be unable to resist them if a plate of
them were set near them and they were left alone with them for 10 minutes.
