I'm Stuffed

When I was young, I watched the Flintstones on television.  One particular episode has stuck with me my entire life.  In the episode, Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty travel to the future.  They’re hungry and decide to have dinner.  Fred orders a steak, Barney corn beef and cabbage, the ladies order lamb chops.  Within seconds, their meals are served with silver lid covers over the plates.  They are shocked to discover that on each of their plates is only a small pea shaped object.   The next scene shows them leaving the restaurant commenting on how delicious the meal was and how full their tummies are.  From the moment I saw this, I’ve thought how wonderful it would be if we could just take a pill instead of all that goes into our consumption of food.
​
Think about how much extra time and money we would have.  There would be more living space in our homes.  No grocery shopping.  The diet industry would go belly up (pun intended).  Unless of course, you took too many pills; that would make you an over-taker instead of an over-eater, I suppose.  No worries about ailments that require modified diets.  No planning a day around meals.  Surely someone out there can come up with such a solution.   When you do, let me know.  Yabba dabba doo!

    Random thoughts appear out of nowhere.  Here is where I place them, not knowing what else to do with them as they tend to desperately want out of my head.
