“On knowing when to stop eating ...”

Watts: if you lived purely spontaneously ...

(lady in crowd says she would never stop eating or some such)

Watts: but you wouldn’t. Because you would know when to stop eating because you weren’t hungry anymore. As it is, nowadays, people get obese because they are trying to feed their empty hearts through their stomachs. They eat too much. No reasonable cat would eat too much.
