Comfort Foods: Women Like Sugar, Men Meat

far be it from me to correct yahoo! but shouldn't their headline be, "Comfort Foods: Women Like Sugar, MAN Meat" ? i mean unless your heidi fleiss (or sueleen).


ALBANY, N.Y. - Comfort food for women often means snuggling up with tub of mint chocolate ice cream to wallow in their blues. But for men, comfort foods serve as a reward when life is looking rosy.

Just what triggers people to turn to "comfort foods" — and which foods they pick — often depends on whether you're asking a man or a woman, according to a new study by Cornell University researchers.

It turns out women are slightly more likely to eat comfort foods high in fat and sugar like cakes and ice cream — along with a hefty serving of guilt, loneliness and depression.

Men, on the other hand, are more likely to turn to soups, pasta and steaks as a reward when they're feeling upbeat.

my greatest comfort food is toast. i don't normally eat bread, so it's a major treat. i don't eat when i'm depressed, i starve. but if i'm ill, i go for a crunchy well toasted everything bagel, dripping w/ butter and a pint of tropicana oj.

I know most of the men who post on this board like a big piece of meat in their mouth, but I like to lick the sugar bowl.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.
