Like all these rules that they make,

which keep you in line.

Because you know what?

When you eat with other people, when you're chatting and all this sort of stuff, you're enjoying yourself, you know, just as much, but you're not going to like be doing this distracted eating and, you know, eating like, you know, you have people just shovel in, like eat really, really fast and stuff, right?

There's a lot of ways that it improves you.

And that

plays out in the end result.

Do you want to talk a little bit about this?

People have this idea that snacking is really, really good for you.

It's been institutionalized, basically.

So it basically comes from the schools now, right?

So ever since you're a kid,

It's like one, you can't skip breakfast.

Then they give you snacks in the middle, like, you know, the mid morning and then at lunch, and then they give you after school snacks, right?

And then they try and say they're healthy snacks because it's fruit or something like that.

And it's like, okay, but keep in mind that a snack, which is eating in between a meal is completely unnecessary.

Right.

That's the entire point.

People in the 70s ate three meals a day, no snacks, and they had no problem.

Nobody died.
