I don't "crave" them but choose to eat these type of things because they are basically foods I can put in mouth and swallow with very little chewing. With clogged, stuffy sinuses having to eat a normal meal feels like I am smothering since when sinuses are clogged stuffy and so on the only way to breath is through the mouth. The more chewing time the less I am breathing since mouth is closed and sinus clogged and stuffy. The easier the food the more I can breath.
