#51 Samuel Johnson Says:

Some people have a foolish way of not minding, or pretending not to mind, what they eat. For my part, I mind my belly very studiously...for I look upon it that he who does not mind his belly, will hardly mind anything else.

Did you know that your stomach is as big as your hand is, palm flat and fingers together?

I did actually. Flat palm is after you've stuffed yourself. Closed fist is when your stomach is empty. I went to see the Bodies Exhibit at the Southstreet Seaport and it's crazy how small some things are and how truly compacted all your intestine are.

I was just halfway through my giant salad and fairly full, but considering eating the rest, because it has a delicious combination of ingredients in it. But I do not see how it would all fit inside a container the size of my hand, so now I will put the remaining portion in the fridge. Thanks, girls.
