Current Events > I don't see how people eat so much at one time.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Stomach aches and craps aren't worth it. Like eatingba whole bag of chips in one sitting. Or a whole pack of cookies in one sitting.

My addiction is ice cream. If I get a half gallon it's gone in one day.

moderation is key.

however i do eat a whole frozen pizza if given the chance for dinner.

plan on having that on monday (once a week thing). too many of those aren't good for me.

It's mostly depression, sprinkled with a bit of Americanism.

The French have it right: once you taste the food, having 25 more bites doesn't actually give you a better experience. Best to have small portions of several flavors/textures than just hoover a gallon of mac and cheese

Because the human body adapts. If you consistently eat large meals, then your stomach's ability to stretch, goes up. Which allows you to eat larger amounts of food in one sitting.

Last time I went to a buffet, there were these two tiny Asian ladies who ate from the time I got there til the time I left, and had like fifteen plates PILED up with seafood and spread all over the table.

I managed three plates and honestly regretted the third.

Yeah I used to be that way. But I was fat.

Depression and general gluttony. I'll go days where I barely eat, if I eat at all. And other days where I'll eat an absolutely disgusting amount.

Ive always eaten until I was full.

I dont eat as much in my mid 30s, but as a teenager and my early 20s I could eat three 3x3s.

I have to think that non-Americans are horrified if they go to Cheesecake Factory.

Because food tastes so damn good

Because it tastes good and it feels good to eat it. If I feel like I've eaten way too much, I just don't eat anything for the rest of the day as well as the next day. I don't tend to eat much unless it's free food.

Some of us aren't so delicate. That said, I don't over eat purely for vanity reasons, which is most likely not mentally healthy but whatever. It gets the job done
