Spoon Feeding for Fatties

Spoon Feeding for Fatties - Ohhhhh... That title certainly does appear to be insulting, doesn't it? Actually, whether or not it is a mean kind of title depends on your being or not being a "fatty," or whether you simply hate being called a fatty. In other words, no insult was intended. Indeed, I, too, have been a fatty. Back in the day I had zoomed on up in weight to more than 200 pounds from what had been my always-weight of around 140 pounds or so. When I hit that 200-pound mark, I was downright proud of it. So, when I read about this whacked-out scientist type who just now reported on his weight-crushing invention that he thinks will save fatties from their own treacherous taste buds, I just have to smile and wish for some more sweet treats. This guy has come up with an electronic spoon that causes a person to think that they experience the taste of sweetness even in the absence of sugars or synthetic sweeteners in the foods they are sticking into their mouths. I wondered if those people doing the food-eating would lose their faked-out lives due to starvation or would their demise be due to instant electrocution. Stop your laughing now. This is serious stuff. Also, please hand me another cream-filled cake donut. I just now got anxious thinking about cake shortages and other calamities due to tongue-shocking replacements and crazy inventors. * * * * * * * * * * Image source: Electronic spoon invented by Gus Kilthau * * * * * * * * * *
