If there was a pill that makes you NEVER HAVE TO EAT AGAIN - Would you take it?

Discussion in 'Philosophy' started by what_ever, Oct 3, 2004.

  1. If there was a pill out there you could buy, which would help you never eat food ever again - would you take it? This pill would be swallowed once and all need to hunger would be gone forever. Some people say they'd actually take it because it'd save them much money and less wasted times in their lives, more to take advantage of.

    Others, and this opinion I agree with, say that food is just too amazing to turn away from. And food and hunger go hand in hand, right? So even if you're on the pill and don't HAVE to eat but want to any way for the taste, you won't get that same fulfilling feeling.


    :hippie:

     
  2. I think I definately would. Wouldnt have to worry about what I eat anymore and shit like that. eating also takes up so much time of my day (going somewhere, preperation, finding something good on the TV lol) that i would have so much more extra time for whatever.
     
  3. Fuck that, I love eating when im baked it makes me happy...
     
  4. I wouldnt eat it.

    No pill can match the joy i get when i wake up, smell pancakes cookin in my kitchen, go in and see scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravey. hmmmmmmmmm. There is nothing finer my friends.

    Nothin can replace the feeling of my first bite of a big steak.

    Hmmmmmm, foooooooddd.....::Drools::
     
  5. No way! Eating is one of the pleasures in life.
    For me it would be the same question if I would take a pill that took care of never make you feel horney ever again, so you never needed to go through all the trouble of having sex..! :D
     
  6. Fuck the pill! lol ^^ i agree with you dude. Eating rocks... like its one of the coolest things you can do in life.
     
  7. hmm, could i still eat though?



    because i mean, food tastes good. and i want to eat it still. but not NEEDING food would be a huge benefit i think. i hate being hungry, but i love to eat.




    id probably go with no in the end.
     
  8. Fuck that, to many good foods out there

    trout
    lobster
    easy cheese...hhhhhmmm
     

  9. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............................................................................................................

    sorry, i need a bib for this drool...

    There is nothing better on this earth than lobster tail and a bowl of melted butter..

    MAN, every time i look at this thread, i hate the pill more and more lol.
     
  10. i wouldnt touch the pill...i love eating..i guess thats why im chubby
     
  11. I wonder, too, if you still could eat. If so, I'd take it and no longer have to worry about haveing to eat (especially before or after you got drunk). But I'd never stop eating. I love food.
     
  12. I think I might--at least I wouldn't have to worry about what I eat anymore. It's causing me too much anxiety right now.

    But then I don't know, I like how food tastes and chewing on things is so satisfying.
     

  13. Haha...you spent way too much time with Trent and maybe a dog lately, I figure
     
  14. i love food, i think i'd rather take a pill of Marinot (synthetic THC) and eat more food.
     
  15. when your not hungry you dont want food, so i would take it.
     
  16. If I see some good food I get hungry. If I think about good food I get hungry. Screw the damn pill nothing more satisfying than a delicious meal.
     


  17. same here... i'd probably go for it though... i mean think of how this pill would have to work... it'd somehow have to make your body sustain itself through other means, photosysthesis or whatever,and if you dont require food, then your stomach probably wont produce acids anymore, along with so much other stuff i cant think of/have no idea about... so you could just eat something, it'd taste good, then you'd either have to puke it up or shit it out whole... lovely...

    I'd eat it...
     
  18. This is how it would have to go:

    People who could afford food before the 'hunger pill' wouldn't take it and would continue to enjoy food and eating.

    Poor people would eat that shit in a second, all 3rd world countries etc.

    You would see the most extreme drastic changes involving things like overpopulation, war, etc.
     
  19. thccrystals, youve made excellent points!! i was so thinking selfishly, upon the initial question, but those are some great points.
    personally I would hope no one would EVER spike my drink with on of those suckers. Id be PISSED the day I neednt eat anymore. I love to cook, smell, eat, experience, wear and present FOOD! :D

    edit, "most extreme drastic changes" not to mention what would happen to those who make a living producing foods on farms, fisheries, etc etc etc!
     
  20. Yah, i have to admit I might want to take it. I would still want to eat - as a recreation. I would hope that my enjoyment of eating wouldnt diminish. But really when your busy.. eating is just a pain in the ass. I enjoy eating & I enjoy sleeping & couldnt give up both. Hope bout i just eat half the pill
