When living in Paris I passed through Chatelet station about 4 or 5 days every week on my way to college and I always enjoyed the musicians who played there, whether they were folk singers or a classical group. Thanks for putting up the video, it brought back memories – and made me want to return to La Ville Lumiere.

If you eat slower you are less likely to over eat. Something to do with eating too much before your body can tell you you’re full, as such. As per here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7681458.stm

“they’d have to show causation for it to be particularly interesting.”

Obviously there is no causal relationship here… you don’t save calories by eating your food slower. I think the link is something like “amount of attention paid to food.”

I think this is backed up by research that shows that if you ask people to journal all their meals for a couple of weeks, they will ewill eat healthier then they’d eaten before — the act of paying attention to your food makes you eat healthier?

The data in the chart may be (probably is) accurate, but they’d have to show causation for it to be particularly interesting.

Ah Damien, not even all the way to the top! Is there some symbolism I’m missing here?
