Free Will...
To quote someone more literate than a simple Topiary Cow:
"I was a free man until they brought the dessert menu around. There was one of those molten chocolate cakes, and I was suddenly being dragged into a vortex, swirling helplessly toward caloric doom, sucked toward the edge of a black chocolate hole..."
"A bevy of experiments in recent years suggest that the conscious mind is like a monkey riding a tiger of subconscious decisions and actions in progress, frantically making up stories about being in control."

The Topiary Cow should like to lose 15 pounds if she can get that monkey off the tiger, that is.
Moo!
