Yeah but you don’t LIKE sugar. Some people love it and deny it to themselves because of irrational fears of not being able to stop eating and getting fat. Also, it’s ridiculous to assume she was talking about you; she doesn’t know you.

okay, you realize she was using cake as a stand-in for something not necessarily healthy but an occasional guilt-free indulgence, right? it doesn’t have to be cake specifically. I hate cake, too, but I like pizza, and chips, and cookies, and her point was that you should be able to have those things once in a while…
