I don’t see a working definition of “difficult to resist”, is the issue.
It’s reasonable to believe that if people report “extreme liking of or craving,” for certain foods or types of foods, then a large percentage of people will find such foods difficult to resist. No reasonable person would dispute this without very strong evidence.
But anyway, we can’t even get to that point because you won’t even concede that people (or at least women) report “extreme liking of or craving” for certain foods or types of foods. I asked you three times if you you disputed this claim and you ignored my question each time.
Instead, you have decided to strawman me:
Basically, you seem to my eyes to be failing to differentiate between “People like X” and “People can’t control themselves around X”.
There’s a difference between “extreme liking or craving for X” and “liking X.” There is also a difference between “people have difficulty resisting X” and “people can’t control themselves around X.”
Sorry, but I have no interest in engaging with people who insist on playing hide the ball with their position. Nor do I engage with people who exaggerate my position to make it sound unreasonable.
There is also a difference between “people have difficulty resisting X” and “people can’t control themselves around X.”
So… what is it?
Sorry, but I have no interest in engaging with people who insist on playing hide the ball with their position.
Why do you think I have a definite position? My “position” here is that the vocabulary for hypotheses is ill-formed. We have effectively spent an entire conversation saying nothing at all because the terms were never defined clearly.

This exchange is concluded.
Goodbye.
