I met some people in real life, I understood that they are living for eating.. haha. If I sit opposite to him I can see only half of him, 'cos of the quantity of food in front of him. I think most people love to eat, just to live and enjoy, and you too. Thanks for nice reply :)

Eating is a matter of choice. What you eat matters. If I were given a choice of having to eat bread and butter to say roast chicken I would choose roast chicken. You are right in talking of economic status. If I cannot afford the latter I would eat bread and butter. But I would still strive to get to roast chicken on the way. What I mean is just eating is not the criteria here. I strive to be better than before. In that quest what I get to eat does make a difference. So I would say that my aim would be to eat to live better and spend the rest of the time trying to reach there.

If a person is going to overeat, it's better to overeat on things like brussel sprouts, broccoli, and carrots. But, who wants to do that? Some people need a conveyor belt to bring plate after plate and bowl after bowl of food straight to their mouths. They could keep their mouths open, and the food would go straight off the conveyor belt and plop right in there. LOL

I'm afraid of people who need a trolley to carry their belly. I got shocked on people eat a lot, And I wonder does their stomach has enough space to accommodate those. Some time I feel them as Food consuming machines, receive food as Industrial reservoyers .. ha ha. We should find such people and warn, many people are striving to get food. Thanks for good response. Have a nice day!

Lol! Modern people think that broccoli and carrot are food for rabbits!, But I like such vegetable foods much, we have another set of vegetables like beans, pea, ladies finger, drum stick, bitter guard, cucumber, radish, carrot, beetroot, spinaches, etc. Don't assume that I have non-veg, I'm a fan of chicken, mutton and beef :D I like ladies finger and Drum stick much .. ha..ha, so when you see me hide your fingers ("_').. Also you specified 'Cold Hands'.. It' will be great! {I'm not sure yet you are a Male or a Female} I feel pity on some people they are not able to bend to take food properly they really need a conveyor belt ..ha ha

Harley I definitely do not live to eat - there are far more important things to live for in this life like, family, children, educating ourselves about many different things, friends, pets - the list is endless so I think it is fair to say that I really do enjoy certain foods I definitely eat to live! xxx

We have many things to do other than eating here of course, eating is just re-charging. You specified many things like family, children, etc. you can make them more nourishing. Eat with family, eat with children, educate to eat, eat with friends, eat with pets....ha ha ha. Love to eat certain foods as I do, and try to live without it for some time.. You being my friend I would like to eat with you, Just to live..ha ha ha.

Hey harley why dont u try to live to eat .just eat and eat do nothing ,what u say ,surely you will feel bored ,lot of diseases u will eventually lose your interest in food.but instead if we do our duties properly and then eat ,especially when we are hungry u can feel the differnce ,the food tast much more.Then more happiness and satisfaction in your life and u will enjoy your life more.if u go after entertainment in your life soon you will feel lose interest in the whole life coz they will give u temp happiness only and then if u continue over it persistently u will eventully lose happiness in it.only if we eat to live we will able to enjoy life.thanks

I just want to eat. Forget the "to live or not to live" part. Just give me good organic food. That stuff is very expensive here! In fact I recently purchased a 3-quart cast iron kettle, which is just the right size to make homemade spaghetti, soups, and such, to cut down on the price of buying cans of organic soup, jars of spaghetti sauce (now I can make my own!), and such. Going organic and all-natural on just about everything, and being low income, makes having enough decent food to eat a problem. The food banks here really are very bad at stocking enough organic stuff.

I don't have a spouse. I am divorced. If I make mistakes while cooking, only I must know about them. No one else has to know. And, if I can't stand to eat my mistakes, they just go into the garbage can. It is then my secret. That is a very good thing about being divorced, and now with no husband, no boyfriend, and no children. I can experiment with food a lot more. LOL

You just want to eat, You forget to live .. Lol! Organic food is very good, but many people like to eat noodles, pasta spaghetti, soups, all with sources and such food, and think that it is good for slim beauty ! You have a new cast iron kettle, I wonder how your spouse eat the horrible food you make !, when you make spaghetti final out put will be soup, I think .. ha ha ha You can make a small agricultural block behind your home or terrace of your home, but you find some time to feed and play with it, you can get poison free vegetables even the quantity is less.... Every body is busy who have the time to do these ? About 10 years ago, my mother and me had a small area of vegetable plants like beans, bitter guard and cucumber, still my mother is maintaining some vegetable I'm busy with my Job. Happy eating! Have a nice day!

I prefer the latter I am here to eat in order to live not the other way around because that would be gluttony if I am to live just to eat I will have heart problem or diabetes for doing that. God bless.

I am poor, and I eat mostly organic food. If a person eats too much organic food, can I curse him and eat him? Please? LOL

I would say I would eat to live. But... sometimes I do want to enjoy the luxury of food and really eat something heartily. But I don't do it daily, it is only on a special occasion just to reward myself upon some accomplishment I achieved. Lol..
