Mr Anon, I thought that being over weight had to do with input and outputs...i.e if you eat big meals you become obese, I did not know that the speed at which you eat has anything to do withweight gain. I disagree with you on this and  I still think if you eat small meals and wolf them down you would not gain weight.. It is the quantity that matters not how you eat it.
