I'll summarize it as "because your body, as the result of evolution, yearns for energy-dense foods."

Thing is, I read this article thinking it might try to explain why I have a much harder time saying no to chocolate than to other sweet treats.

This model is also too simplistic. It does not explain why don't I eat sugar straight from the bag.

Overall, a disappointingly pedestrian read.
