Obviously, this thread is in response to Para's thread about sleep.

But, way back in 1977, I asked my bass player, "Would you give up the pleasure of eating if it meant never getting food poisoning, no trouble with bowel movements and/or indigestion, no heart burn, hemorrhoid issues, and every other problem that comes as a result of eating?"

We were on a long trip to a gig we were doing, and we had a rather lively discussion about the question because we both had endured our share of issues - the issues that come with eating.

I was about 6 years younger than him, and he and I ended up with opposite answers. What say you all?



I found what you said riveting.

Abso-damn-lutely.

I told the Doc: "I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. The Wife won't let me play with painted wimmen. All I got left is good food and good coffee."

I find food to be one of life's pleasures so definitely no. Sometimes I wish I didn't like it so much as I can stand to loose 40 lbs.

Sounds like a conversation I had. After the list of questions my response is - No I just like to eat.

As long as there is bacon, I'd still want to eat.

Bacon is the best reason for us being carnivores that I can come up with.

Yes. Other than "famine food" eating and savoring every ingredient is pleasurable and comforting (the origin of "comfort food"). Bacon cooking and coffee brewing are the best "aromatherapy."

Once in a while, maybe. But if there wasn’t a hunger to drive the need to cook... plus hunger adds a desire to eat...

I guess, as much as I enjoy cooking and tasting food, without hunger, I would use the time more efficiently.

I would still eat. I'm fat because I like eating (and I'm good at it). Not because I only eat when I'm hungry.

^^^THIS. The curmudgeon speaks truth.

Guy I worked with was once asked the definition of a good day. His response? "Good sex, a good meal, and a good s**t." Methinks he had a clear understanding of his existence.

NO. Now waiting for the thread about sexual needs. LOL

This could be a short Psych. course in Learning and Motivation. Now the chapter on human drives. Philosophical positions welcomed.
