Mindful versus mindless eating is another thing. I'm not one who particularly enjoys eating, so I usually just shovel it in. And then when I get something that is good, I still just shovel it in, because that's how I'm used to eating.
It's interesting, though, because since our portion sizes are generally predetermined, it may not matter if we eat fast or slow, as far as eating too much (or too little, for that matter). We eat whatever's on our plate, or whatever we packed for our lunch. But of course there are other reasons to be mindful.
