Want to get more satisfaction out of eating and appreciate food more?  Try fasting one day a week.  Sure it will take some serious will power, but just imagine the benefits.  If you’re like most Americans then each and every day you’re probably consuming far more calories than you need, especially if you work a sedentary cubical job.  Sophisticated scientific studies have shown that those extra calories may actually be taking years off your life, even if you’re not obese.  Also consider, if you’re passing up a meal that includes meat, you will be significantly reducing the amount of carbon dioxide pollution that you are personally responsible for (the meat industry is a notorious offender - too many reasons to list here).  And of course you could be saving a substantial amount of money that could be used to eat tastier or healthier food the rest of the week.  A final caution: if after diligent regular fasting you find yourself looking thinner than Kate Moss, then you might be overdoing it.
