You ever get a craving?

For something that is obviously not natural for you to be craving? I don't mean pregnancy cravings, I mean those everyday food cravings. Like, you're watching tv or eating a sandwich and suddenly you have this gutwrenching craving for potato chips. Can you imagine if cavemen had a craving for potato chips? No. They aren't a naturally occuring food.

I wonder if that is why we evolved (I know I know, I'm in the south and that's a dirty word). If we were eating bark and berries and raw meat and thought, "Man. I could really eat some carbohydrates from a brown round vegetable that you can chop into slices and bake and/or fry with various other chemicals that don't exist yet. Something crispy. And this bark ain't cuttin' it. I'm going to invent the wheel."

I wonder if it was genuinly a desire for something better in our lives that drove us forward. Or perhaps it was a selfish desire for something better--either way we went from being deer-like prey to obnoxious earth-destroying human beings. Homosapiens, even!

I dunno. Can a craving for potato chips really do all that? I had a craving for potato chips a few days ago and went down to the Walgreens store and bought some on sale. But what if I hadn't had potato chips? Hell, I could have cured cancer...
