One night as his family was finishing dinner, Mike Benson noticed six green beans left on his daughter\u2019s plate. Ordinarily this wouldn\u2019t bother Mike, but this night he was irked and said to his eight-year-old, \u201cEat your green beans.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m full to the top,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou won\u2019t pop,\u201d he responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I will pop!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRisk it!\u201d he said. \u201cIt will be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, I can\u2019t eat another bite.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mike knew the dessert, pumpkin pie squares, was his daughter\u2019s favorite. So he asked, \u201cHow would you like a double helping of pumpkin pie squares with two dollops of whipped cream on top?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds great!\u201d she said as she pushed back her plate.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can you have room for a double helping of pumpkin pie squares with two dollops of whipped cream and not have room for six measly green beans?\u201d<\/p>\n
She stood up and pointed to her belly, saying, \u201cThis is my vegetable stomach. This is my meat stomach. They are both full. Here is my dessert stomach. It is empty. I am ready for dessert!\u201d<\/p>\n
What we eat reveals what we hunger for.<\/p>\n
