Summary

Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life. We control our lives and that includes taming our bodies. It would be hard to think of anything you could do immediately to improve your health than eating less. But darn! Eating just feels so good. And, above all, I am SOO hungry. Ever wondered why medical literature before 1962 had almost no mention of peanut allergies and eating disorders? Because they didn’t have those things then, that’s why. In this show we’re not exploring nut allergies, but I do explain exactly why, nowadays, very many young people do suffer from eating disorders. Understanding the reason will help you regain your once svelte figure. Why should COVID-19 cause Americans to add weight? Why should a bunch of barbarians rioting in the streets cause you to eat more? But they do. Here’s what to do about it. In our bodies, parts of which are generally uni-functional (we don’t smell AND hear with our ears), why are our mouths multi-use appliances? We eat and speak with the same facial orifice (but never at the same time!) Learn how to eat until you’re fulfilled, not until you are filled. One difference between breast-feeding a baby and bottle feeding it. How blind people eat differently and the three steps you can take to eat properly and stop overeating.

0:54.8	Welcome all you happy warriors to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show, where your rabbi reveals
1:03.0	how the world really works.
1:07.2	And one of the ways in which the world really works is that there are two parallel realities in almost everything.
1:16.6	The physical and the spiritual, the body and the soul.
1:21.6	And today we want to talk a little bit about, well, something we all do, just a teeny, weency,
1:29.9	little bit too much. This is a human activity that many of us engage in just a little too
1:37.6	wholeheartedly. And what am I talking about? Well, you've already guessed. Eating is the topic. That's right. Look, the good
1:46.9	Lord gave us basically three strong appetites, sex, money, and food. And they operate very
1:56.4	differently. Part of the spiritual roadmap to appetites is that the sex appetite is kind of interesting in that the way it works is that the more it is indulged, the hungry it gets.
2:12.3	The less it is indulged, the more ascetic it gets.
2:22.0	Money operates differently. The more it is indulged, the more ascetic it gets. Money operates differently. The more it is indulged,
2:29.0	the more the appetite grows. The less it is indulged, the more the appetite grows. Makes no difference. The appetite is there all the time. And food is different from each of those preceding ones with food.
2:37.9	The more it is indulged, the less you need for it. In other words, there is such a thing as people say,
2:44.3	I'm stuffed. What a terrible expression that is, isn't it? But people say that. I'm so full,
