Mia and Salvatore are trying to stay fit and stick to their New Year's resolution of avoiding processed sugar. While attending a party, a mixed plate of chocolate-dipped strawberries, chocolate-covered cherries, and pineapple-grape skewers is passed around. Strawberries are Mia's favorite fruit, so the temptation is real. Dopamine floods her brain and pushes her to reach for the treat. As Mia considers her resolution, which of the three options is Mia likely to select?

▸ Mia will easily resist the chocolate-covered strawberry and opt for nothing.

▸ The executive control system of Mia's brain will inhibit the desire for the strawberry and she will opt for the healthier pineapple-grape skewer.

▸ Mia's dopamine levels will surge at the sight of the strawberry and she will be unable to resist her favorite chocolate-covered fruit.

▸ Unable to resist, both Mia and Salvatore will take one of each fruit option.
