Is It Being Childish Or Elderly?

More days than not I have this craving and I always see it as something a child would do or like, but Tony says its not child like its being an old person. The problem is that after dinner I want something sweet, cake, pie... candy bar. anything! I had a Hersey`s chocolate bar in my cart at the grocery store but put it back at the last minute, so no candy. So I did what I do best, I am baking from scratch, made a peach cobbler. Yes at 9:30 pm its in the oven and when its done I will scoop a serving out while steaming hot. What do you think? Child like wanting dessert or like an elderly person?

Neither, I know a lot of middle aged people (30s, 40s and 50s) who always have desert after dinner, usually cake or pie. I'm not much for sweets but when days get short I find myself eating more pies, especially pumpkin or apple.

I think people wanting sweets is normal. It is called a sweet tooth haha even if someone has no teeth it is still a sweet tooth. I don't think it is childish since it is just something that tastes good!

Generally people like sweets but because of awareness on various diseases now a days. People now become more wiser in choosing food what to eat.

I think none of the two. I like to have something sweet after dinner since I was a kid and this habit never changed during all my life. Not a big thing, only a piece of chocolate while I watch my evening movie.

Who cares? As long as you enjoy it. I sometimes have a couple of cooking chocolate 'buttons' after a meal. I always crave something sweet to finish with.

I think most people want something after a meal even if it is just a mint or a piece of gum. I don't eat dessert every day, but to me, that is the best part of a meal most of the time!

It is normal I think. But be sure to take it easy on sugar intake.

I think there is that window when more people tend not to eat sweets because of diets, so that is where the child like comes in , they do not care and once again when they are old, don`t care.
