Cars and guilty snacks go together. Only the best of the best health-conscious eaters can resist jamming the back seat on a road trip with M & M’s, doritos, Slim Jims, and various other gas station delicacies, right?? Of course you’d never eat those things during normal times, but you’re in a car. It’s like a nutritional safe zone.

My friend Alex is hilarious. She told me before we started, “I’m one of those people who count the number of chips and stop at the serving size. Except for the broken ones; they don’t count.”

Alex recommends participation in the snack series to anyone trying to break a food addiction. 45 minutes of eating your guilty snack and you don’t want to see it again for. . . a while.
