Abstract

Perched on a high stool in my kitchen, I found myself pondering my current, somewhat peculiar activity: I was drinking olive brine out of the jar. While never in my life having craved a bar of chocolate, the craving for green olive brine is reoccurring. Is this craving rather bodily greed than need? What are cravings and are they bad? Since olive brine consists of sodium chloride and water, I therefore assume that the craving I experienced was related to salt. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
