You may have heard a number of jokes on those who overeat themselves to death.
The standard observation is that people in the developed world eat themselves to disease and death whereas the third world starves itself to disease and death.
Americans make for 2% of the world population while they consume 40% of the world resources, goes the infamous statistical observation.
Coming back to the joke. One amongst us friends had this nasty habit to eat himself to helplessness and often to the discomfiture of the rest of his friends. This friend of us always made a fun and fool of himself whenever he went for a party.
The last one we went to had this great eater friend of ours as he had to be for his being a permanent fixture on all parties. I knew what was coming when he attacked the starters, the snacks within a few minutes of entering the arena of the party.
And then we never saw him not-eating, not moving his mouth. He was gorging on just everything with the same tenacity and excitement as he began like a hungry tiger. He just would not let any serving attendant go without leaving quite a large helping on his plate. And the speed with which he would eat was amazing too.
You look at him beginning to eat his new helping and the next minute you see it all disappeared.
None of us has ever seen him talking at a party. ?Party talk is a sheer waste of time; first of all you cannot hear anybody because of the loud music in the background and if you have heard someone say something to you, you just cannot revert back; either you eat or talk; I go for eating and eating alone and for no other thing,? he says shamelessly. His over 120 kilos offer a challenge to the best prescription like . Appetite suppressants are not for our friend who loves and lives to eat.
This time too he ate his ass out and was just unable to walk, making all kinds of noises at his being unable to even lift himself up from the seat he had finally settled himself for dinner. All of us were fed up as we could not have left this glutton of our friend at the dead of the night. ?Why did you eat so much; just put two fingers in your throat and throw the food out, would?? came an angry suggestion from one of us. He looked at him says,? If I had room for two fingers I could have had a banana as I miss the fruit after my dinner.?
