never knows best...

dry as toast

I think I finally understand why I think I used to eat so fast, yet currently am outpaced by just about everyone I eat with. It all has to do with portions.

So, as a young boy to young man, I guess I did not eat much, which lead to my belief that I am a faster than average eater. This continued to freshman year at the DC, where of course you can eat only so many burgers before deciding that one burger a meal is enough.

Then a lot of solo eating, so it never was much of an issue.

But now, with eating lots with Amy, with coworkers, and even with family (for some reason I am getting larger and larger portions of rice), it is becoming very apparent that I am a slow eater. So sad... Oh well, I can still finish a quick meal in like 10 minutes, but for a real meal it will take me a while.

The cracks in the illusions of youth are starting to show.
