.Though I've been known to buy a candy bar or two just to tweak the child who's tantruming over that very item. It's fun.

Shark, I've noticed that at Freddy's, too. Oh, and apparently the Famblee Friendly checkouts are slightly wider to accommodate strollers. Whatever.
I don't give a shit what impulse-items they put at checkouts. I just look for the one with the shortest line.

Second, studies have shown that our cognitive ability and willpower come from the same pool. Furthermore, we've also learned that the average modern person is bombarded with many more temptations than people were in the past, and each instance of resistance requires willpower. That's why you can start your day right, but by the time evening comes, the cumulative effect of those candy bar ads you've seen, McDonald's you've passed, co-worker's donuts you've ignored, cookie you passed up in favor of salad, and vending machine you didn't put money into makes you want to eat a microwave meal in front of the couch. So I expect to have more mental energy and a healthier diet if I don't have to look at all that crap I'm not going to buy anyway.
