Consequences from eating too fast:

Choking

Kooky ways to manage food:

Not using utensils
Not using plates
Standing up eating
Eating while walking
Eating while on the phone or internet
Eating food that is too cold or too hot, frozen or burnt

One of the differences between a food addiction and an eating disorder is the potential for choking.

Here are some folks who didn’t know what an eating disorder was…and they choked to death:

Attila the Hun – Fierce 5th century nomadic warrior
Tennessee Williams – Wrote A Streetcar Named Desire
Tommy Dorsey -Jazz band leader
