I think food as a reward has all kinds of flaws. I eat what I want and weigh the calories into the overall scheme...I will admit I tend to not eat the super high calorie foods, because I have found I can cook healthy foods and like the taste just as well....however...I just got back from a 60 mile hike and the only restaurant within walking distance of my hotel was a pizza parlor. I analilated a large
pepperoni pizza along with my wife.
That darn pizza didn't stand a chance.
