That's the new dystopian plan for those who can't afford groceries. Take a pill!
My mom told me that when she was send away to a remote school where she lived with other teens they drenched cotton balls in orange juice and ate that to lose weight. That thought still haunts me.
What's crazy about that, you could just eat high fiber foods and get the same effect.
People did that because the cotton wouldn't be digested and make their stomachs feel full for a long time. Literally the same thing nondigestable fiber does.
What's actually crazy is most people today barely eat any fiber.
I guess that's one way to get your fiber.
73% of Americans are overweight. They'll be just fine if they eat out less.
As a lot of people here know, I am the last person to be saying this, but if it was possible to take a pill to avoid paying for groceries, it's probably worth it.
Just don't end up living on Ensure and V8 because it's just as expensive, trust me.
I used to think of eating and sleeping as wasting my productive time. Were I then able to take a pill to reclaim that time, I would have. I'm much lazier now. I like the new me.
Trust me, eating is one of the best things in the world. Maybe the best thing in the world if it's the right meal. Every culture is built around food.
I am very much in a position to know this.
Edit: I forgot my point, which was that even though it's great, if people could only do it when they wanted to instead of when they had to, they would probably make that choice.
