The chocolate plateau paradox

Here's the problem with chocolate in a nutshell: There's no plateau.

You eat chocolate and it's wonderful, so you're naturally inclined to continue repeating the experience. And, assuming there are adequate supplies of chocolate, say, for example, on Easter Day when bountiful amounts of chocolate are available, that chocolate will be consumed. Because it's wonderful.

Until it's not.

There doesn't seem to exist that perfect moment and which just the right amount of chocolate has been eaten, and you can sit back and be content. There's no plateau, instead there's only a vicious peak followed by an inevitable and precipitous decline.

Which is to say, I think I may have eaten too much chocolate...
