I get tired sometimes
of having to feed this body so very often.
I had lunch only five hours ago and I'm already hungry?
Think of how much energy and effort is spent to feed you - growing
food, packaging, transporting, selling, choosing, buying, storing,
cooling, preparing, cooking, serving, cleaning.
Think of all the side effects of our constant need for food -
pollution, waste, poor food choices for convenience, and many more.
Sure, I love eating, but imagine how much more special each meal would
be if we ate once a day, or even once a week.
Perhaps our bodies could learn from our distant relatives - snakes.
Eat a meal roughly your own weight, take a nap for half a day, and
you're good to go for a week.
