#Satiety

Satiety is the brain’s self-serving lie that the stomach has reached its limit. The bliss that follows the ritual of a meal is often conveniently used as an excuse for overindulgence. The emptiness that should have been filled frolics inside like a braggart mouse celebrating its own confidence. Modern humans, in a democracy of taste, possess the unprecedented right to critique not only their own plates but everyone else’s. The obsession with that last bite is the true flip side of this happiness.
