10 Reasons to Overeat
- Instant gratification saves time
- Aren't we supposed to end world hunger?
- Why cut pork when the government won't?
- Grow the economy and yourself.
- The U.S.A. can still be No. 1 in something!
- Excess is a normal American trait.
- It is good exercise for your jaw.
- You won't have to fight temptation.
- Overeaters get a lot of attention.
- It sure does taste good.
These hilarious quips come from The Art of Overeating - a hilarious book from psychologist Leslie Landis. The book takes reverse psychology to a new level. Instead of berating us to eat less we get advice like:
Be a good guest and offer to do the dishes. Alone. This way, you can lick each plate clean. If anyone catches you, say you are trying to be eco-conscious and save water.
A good laugh as we enter the season of gluttony...
