Today I came to the realization that all you can eat restaurants and buffets seem to be an American thing. I never heard of anyone else talking about overeating to get their money’s worth. I’m in a different headspace about health now as an American who has eaten at all you can eat places before and I know it was a common thing to just overeat as much as you can because you’re paying for it. Now I view it as paying for overindulgence with your health and I think the concept of all you can eat is promoting our obesity epidemic. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. This can also be how b!nge eating disorders can begin.
