“Pizza or cheese dip, but I definitely prefer pizza out of the two.”

“Ice cream. I’m a big fan of the Rock Chocolate Jayhawk at Silas and Maddy’s. I always go in thinking I’m only going to get one scoop, but it never works out that way.”

— Fran Snyder, singer/songwriter, Lawrence

“Probably seafood like shrimp, lobster or snow crab. I don’t get them that often, but when I do it’s a free-for-all.”

“I’d have to say apples with Nutella. I eat bags and bags of them.”

Children. If you keep them locked in a small cage in the basement, they're just like veal!

Multidisciplinary: I agree, there should be two foods...I make coconut cream pie 3 or 4 times a year and when I do, I always eat more than I should.

Potato chips. If I buy a bag I'll eat the entire thing within 24 hours (usually less) and it doesn't matter how large the bag is, what brand or flavor. If I happen to wake up in the middle of the night and know that I have some in the house I'll start thinking about them and have to get up to at least eat a few.I'm six feet tall and weigh 132 pounds so I don't have to worry about the calories but I still don't buy them because for me they are like catnip to a cat. I just can't stop.

I guess cheese and avocadoes are probably two things I would be tempted to overindulge in, if I had enough of those around.

Sue, blame your sickness on the raccoon. I think pretty much everything can be a raccoon's fault, no matter what.Oh, and chocolate is my eat-to-excess food. I tend to take more than I should when something involves chocolate.

When Pepsi had the pepsi points thing while I was a teenager I had about a half dozen cans of pepsi a day for a whole summer, all funded by my parents. By the end of it I bought a beach chair, a football, basketball and soccer ball, a goalie jersey and a t-shirt.No self control... I can pretty much overindulge on anything that tastes good.

I might channel H-Lecter sometimes, maybe. He's not around too much these days, so someone has to take the responsibility.
