Cheese is addictive as crack?

[minkeygirl]

"For years you've been telling your friends, family, co-workers and anyone who will listen that you're addicted to cheese. It's a part of every meal or snack, and you think about it constantly. According to a new study from the University of Michigan, cheese crack is a real thing. And so is your addiction. "

Yep.

I may or may not be eating cheese while typing this.

 

[sillysocks84]

It is but I have noticed I feel much better when I don't eat it. Then I miss it so much after a while I go overboard when I do decide to have some

I am able to take a hiatus from cheese, but once I start eating it again I can't stop.

Love cheese. Eat loads of it every day. Managed not to eat it for 2 years when I was a vegan, but back on it now. Just looking at the picture on that article caused a release of happy hormones. Gonna go and eat some cheese right now.

You are on a roll. Keep it coming as you're providing my afternoon entertainment.

However, I would dispute the above study. I think chocolate is probably the most addictive food. At least for me, but n=1.

Can't eat cheese and expect to poop in the same week.

There are times I can't afford cheese. At those times, I find myself thinking about it ALL the time; now I know why ...

I think you're in denial about your addiction and an intervention may be needed.

@barbc56 I'm in denial with a lot of foods

Drum roll, rim shot!

maybe this is where the name Cracker Barrel cheese came from

Cheese is high in tyrosine, a precursor to dopamine, the feel good hormone.

I think chocolate is probably the most addictive food.

So do both at the same time! My lunch today:

small hunk of cheddar
small apple
few grapes
few kalamata olives
3 small squares 85% dark chocolate

Yummerdoodles.

Please. Don't. Stop.

Hold on I don't believe this study they used a mouse model to test their hypothesis.

Love cheese, but it doesn't last long in our house!!

I love blue cheese, but my husband loathes it. He says it gives you ass breath. If so, I consider it a small price to pay!
