Isn't it ironic?

Don't you think?

So I decided that, after work, I ought to get a little reading done in Food for Life: Spirituality and the Ethics of Eating, the last Paideia book of the semester. I also had the munchies, so I finished off a mostly empty bag of cracked pepper chips. Of course, the chapter I was to read was titled, "God and Eating Disorders," which acknowledged that obesity falls into the category of eating disorder, generally assumed to be only anorexia and bulemia. The chapter talked about how people aren't really hungry, and mentioned the "hungry ghosts" from the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

I succumbed to the ghosts - I polished off the chips.
