If there's been one thing about me that has stayed true since I was a kid, it's the fact that I tend to dislike food and meals. People who understand this, and who have known me for some time, can perhaps comprehend me as a person better--i.e. why I dislike crowds, and "barkadas"--it's more or less linked to my general dislike for the concept of eating. It perhaps also explains why I haven't been heavier than 104 pounds all my life.

Ok so now to the reasons why I dislike food.

1. It's disruptive - meals are disruptive. Whether you're trying to finish a level on some role-playing game, or trying to solve some equation that can perhaps complete the Grand Unified Theory, meals disrupt thinking.

2. It's a stage for economic status show-offing - people use food and dining to identify their "class" in society. I don't have to explain this.

3. It tends to be messy - I don't need to explain this either.

4. It's time-consuming

5. It can poison you (granted, you'll die if you don't eat, but yes, if you intake something toxic, you die too, probably quicker than normal)

6. I generally dislike fat people (sorry) and for me they symbolize greed and gluttony and all the excesses of this world.

I'll treat this writeup as a work-in-progress, but really, if there was only a way to take some pill that:

a) will stop making you hungry yet supply you with the necessary nutrients to live
b) keep the stomach and intestines from wearing itself out because of the absence of solid food
c) keep the excretory system in balance and not react from the lack of "real food"

then I would be a happier human being.
