I was getting a little sad because I won't be able to enjoy an abundance of food anymore, but one way to think of it is that the 3rd bite tastes the same as the 53rd bite. I'm just saying!

I am going to sound like a nerd for this but the 53rd bite isn't nearly as satisfying as the 3rd. Law of diminishing returns. I absolutely love that you pointed this out.
I think we eat the 53rd bite out of automation rather than enjoyment. Bleh.

LOL "law of dimishing returns." Love it!

Thank you for this perspective! I wrote your sentence down -- "The 3rd bite tastes the same as the 53rd bite" -- to look at this if i am ever weakening.
