Abstinence is as easy for me as temperance would be difficult. ~ Samuel Johnson .

The strong-willed Samuel Johnson,
asked why he never touched wine, gave this answer.
That’s well and good for him, but does it apply to milkshakes
as it does to wine or other intoxicants? I vote YES!!!
but search that question on the Internet to find emphatic no’s.
In Overeaters Anonymous we find ourselves unable
to abstain from food but having to, as to milkshakes and trigger foods.
We have a substance — sugar — causing greater brain craving
than other addictions, while people assure us milkshakes
are easier to set aside than intoxicants.
Can we get some respect here?
