Fat Free, Sugar-Loaded Candy

Who: The virtuous type. Those who’ve deluded themselves into thinking 240 calories (pack of starburst) is vastly less bothersome than the chocolately, nutty, gooey of *gasp* 280 calories (snickers bar). When: When you need to convince yourself you’re being very, very good! See also, meeting word count three days in a row. Pass the halo this way! Why: If there's no fat, it doesn't count, right?

Pint of Ben and Jerry’s. And a spoon.

Who: Thrill-seekers and riders on the emotional roller coaster. When: Just after OMG TOTALLY AMAZING NEWS!!!!! comes or just after omgthissucksmycareerisoverbeforeitbegansob! News. Why: It’s cool. It’s creamy. It’s fatty and science tells us we love fat. It’s a throwback to birthdays of our childhood and celebrations with confetti and streamers. Or it’s comfort, a cuddle, the body settling in for the metaphorical cold, dreary onslaught of publishing winter. And because it comes in a convenient single serving size. Adorable! Right?
