Alim McNeill lost 22 pounds this winter. He said he gave up candy — among other things — to do it.

Sounds simple, eh?

It’s not. Not when, say, you get a craving for a chocolate bar sold at a corner grocer that’s wrapped in paper … and papery aluminum foil. Believe me, the chocolate is so good it deserves two layers of protection.

I’m not a big candy fella, but I’m a big fella — bigger than I’d like these days — and that heavenly (Satanic?) chocolate bar doesn’t help. So, don’t eat it, right?
