There are meals meant to fill; there are meals meant to nourish.
Going hungry is okay.
Not being full after every meal is okay.
Not being full after many meals is okay, even ideal.
You have life to live.
Stay sharp.
Having eaten a meal is no excuse for a nap.
Being made sluggishly full after each meal is no virtue.
Being Perpetually Sated As A Cultural Value
Our eating culture tends to encourage the ability to stuff oneself at each meal.
