Perils of Eating Fast

Some people crave such talent.
Some people abhor it.
Mostly it goes unnoticed.
But quickly it becomes a sore thumb.

The ability to eat fast.

Not just fast fast. But to engulf an entire meal within minutes, to inhale and devour without the trivialities of chewing. To swallow everything WHOLE.

Okay, maybe that was a tad out of line.

But you get my drift.

Being the first to finish a meal, to sit there full while dishes are still being laid out. Pushing the gravy around on an empty plate while people munch away belligerently, oblivious to your discomfort.

The discomfort of being the odd one out.

So maybe that's what it all boils down to. The singling out, cast-offed, albinism in a flock of crows.

PLUS, when you eat fast, you tend to eat more; of which the consequences are summed up nicely in the following equations;

Amount of food consumed, cm3 = [(Maximum stomach distension/ Time taken for stomach to reach full distension) x Eating speed]

Fat = (Amount of food consumed/ Eating time)

Hence, as eating time decrease OR eating speed increases, Amount Of Food Consumed and Fat increases respectively.

Simple maths.
