Hunger Gene Van Buren

People often tell me to slow down. Whether it's driving, walking, or eating..generally I move fast.

I'm currently sitting at a local coffee shop scrunched uncomfortably between two tables. The men sitting at these tables BOTH have bagels & cream cheese sitting in front of them while reading the paper. I do not understand how people can leave food on their plates for long (or even short) periods of time. If I had a bagel at my table, I would eat its entirety within 3 minutes flat. I'm not exaggerating here. I eat fast. Is something wrong with me? Do I just have the impulsive hunger gene embedded in me? There is absolutely nothing that could stop me from wolfing down my food faster than humanely possible. I'm just getting hungry watching that food sit untouched. Ohhh, it's even within arm's reach.

Food really is an interesting topic. It's pretty crazy that we has humans have to buy our food. It is kept under lock and key unless we get jobs, earn money, then give that money back to the system so we can sustain our bodies. It doesn't seem natural. Everybody should grow their own gardens.

  1. You should have asked if you could eat their bagels... probably would have gone over well and not awkward...
