Fear

You know that moment when you’re eating, and you realize you are comfortably full and satisfied, but there are only a couple of bites of food left on your plate, and you think, “I might as well finish it.” 

Perhaps you’ve been at an expensive restaurant, and the food is so good, and you’re full, but you want to keep eating because it won’t be as delicious as leftovers, and heck, you paid good money for it.

wasting food.

Have you ever found yourself eating past the point of fullness just to avoid leaving food on your plate? Perhaps you’ve heard the familiar refrain about starving children in Africa or felt compelled to finish an expensive restaurant meal because you don’t want it to go to waste.

Picture this: You’re at a charming little restaurant, savoring the most delectable pasta you’ve ever had. The sauce is tangy and rich, perfectly coating the noodles. Despite feeling full, you take a few more bites because it’s just so delicious. Now, you’re really full and facing a dilemma: stop eating to avoid feeling stuffed and miserable, or continue because it’s too good to waste, and reheating leftovers might not do it justice.
