A while back, two co-workers were talking about how eating food was annoying. Annoying. I needed an explanation. They said they wouldn’t eat if they didn’t actually need the nutrition – it was boring and time consuming to eat (even if already prepared for them). One wished there was just a pill or something she could take and skip the whole eating business.
How can people like this exist?? I love to eat, and not just for nutrition. In fact, long after I’ve received sufficient nutrition I still want to keep eating. (I believe this is true for MANY of us.) I just want to continue the experience. Sometimes it’s about enjoying the textures. Sometimes it’s for the flavor. And when both worlds come together – oh have mercy.
I think I appreciate individuality well enough. But to think of eating food as being annoying? That’s just plain weird.
