I had a favorite buffet haunt in my younger life, and went back recently. It was nice enough, but I felt this perpetual compulsion to gorge myself. Why wouldn't I make myself sick, it's all the same price, right?I hit up Old Country Buffet last month and watched a guy puke himself inside-out at the exit. That's terrifying, what's that all about? He didn't seem sick at all, but like a long-dead goldfish, he gorged himself unto failure and the busboys had to mop up that nasty puddle of human bile.
The smart eater knows better. Pull your head out of your gullet and get back to reality. Every restaurant is "all you can eat", all you have to do is buy your meal and eat it. There's no need to make an ass of yourself, or a sick ass at that. Just recognize reasonable bounds of human limitation, atop that the fact we're all human and our bowels can hold a finite limit, no matter how chubby at that.
