Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fits and with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I do like the opening line here in this story,
whether it's a delicious pizza or a Moorish kebab, Yeah,
we all enjoy a takeaway from time to time.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I don't like the word moorish.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Either, do I I quite like hearing No, I like
hearing it said, but I don't like the way it's written,
because it is actually just the word more with an
ishe on the end. Correct, but it doesn't look right.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
But when people say, oh, they're a bit moorish, what about?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Shut up? What is the number one food that is
moorish to you? Hot chips? Mate, hot chips. You can't
have a couple of hot chips.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Ice Cream?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh no, No, ice cream is not more.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
It's no.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
You just need one mouthful.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Can get a bit sickly.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Oh I don't know about that, but yeah, I agree, chips,
something with salt, like a dereader, like I mean, who
can have one dereader?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
You just can't.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Day Anyway, I wanted to talk about patterns of overeating
because I this is the thing about over eating. People
don't necessarily over eat because they're hungry.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
A disease is it.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, I don't think it's it's not a disease. They've
done a they've done a survey of it was only
about sixty adults, but they put them into categories after
they studied them, registered their moods and all of that
kind of thing. So you could fit into one of
five categories. You're eating and this is why, this is

(01:50):
why you're doing it. People like to take out feast.
You might fit into the subcategory, which is people like
it take out feasts. They like to order, which is
ordering in. But it's take out. It doesn't make any sense. No,
it doesn't like this story. People like to go out
for dinner. There we go evening restaurant, reveling, evening craving.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Oh that's me. I get that.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Do you stand at the fridge?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
No, about eight thirty, I'll wander past the chocolate cabinet
and I'll have a good look inside and see what
links on offer.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Is that because you have had a build up of
stress throughout the day, you haven't released it gradually, and
so it's a way of stress relief.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
It might be because I feel like a treat, I
feel like I've earned it. At the end of the day.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Or you're just eating your feelings. You can eat your feeling,
yeah you do. People don't deal with their feelings. Uncontrolled
pleasure eating spread through this.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
See that's what when it does go to when you
go to a young chaw or something like, it's it's
the words all you can eat. It should not be
out there because for you it just just you don't
stop anyone's risk.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
But you know what, who doesn't pleasure eat? Would be
my question.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Some people eat for sustenance, right, and they eat to survive,
and some people eat to bury their feelings.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Can I tell you one thing, and this is in
my defense, Kate Richie, When I read a book about
the evolution of man, I realized and read that the
baboons used to they'd find a plumb tree, right.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I think this was one of the first stories I
heard when I joined this show, and I thought, WHOA,
I need time.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay, So a band of baboons will find a plum tree, right,
and they'll enjoy the sweet plumber. And what they will
do is they will eat as many as they can
till they can't walk because of overeaten. But that's to
stop the other animals getting the tree to steal their
sweet goodness that is in the evolution of man, which
