Catty, the company is into all this wellness stuff now and they have already saved lives with it in finding people ready to heave heart attacks, very diabetic and people with high blood pressure so high they were ready to blow a gasket.

The ones who eat like that are not popular out there, the guy who eats all the cookies get harrassed all the time about how much he eats but he don't care what they say, he is still going to eat! It does create a lot of resentment when they show up to eat and there is hardly anything left and he is sitting there with it all on his plate. I have already learned that no matter how much you cook, it is never enough with one of those types people and they usually only want meat and potatoes and nothing else.

It is my belief from a lifetime of observation, that eating habits are formed as a baby. I think maybe some are just born hungry and never feel satisfied. Once grown, they simply just can not controll it and it is like any other addiction, they will do ANYTHING and do not care about anyone else as long as they get what they want. I think it is a physical something in their brain that just don't work right, the hunger pangs never shut off and the fullness sensation is never there. It is not something they can control.

However, they should have sense enough to know they can not go to one of those all you can eat places and think they can clean out the food bar and it be acceptable. If they have to eat like that, go to several of those all you can eat places and eat several plates full, pay for it and go to another and do it that way. I had one nice young deckhand one time that was a large eater but he was smart! He would eat his plate full and just sit there and talk to whoever was eating through the whole meal time. He would sit there until everyone ate and left.... THEN, he would go get what was left and eat all he wanted. I was so impressed with that young man and his manners.

They can not control it but why not use common sense?
