Read along with the original article(s) here: https://racheltrotta.com/making-the-changes-that-matter/trigger-foods-clean-eating-and-leveling-the-moral-high-ground/ Quotes to ponder: "When you are chronically stressed, under-rested, or somehow emotionally over-drawn, the great likelihood is that you will be more drawn to these seductive, hyperpalatable foods." "Food is a natural soother, and at those times when you’re burned out, at night, after work, for example, food seems like a viable shortcut to serenity." "No food is bad. No food is good."
