You have on your fork the first bite of your favorite meal.

It's so good you have another bite, then another, and another until the meal is gone. You're filled with a longing to have just ONE more bite. It's gone and you wish you'd spent more time enjoying it, savoring it. Is it really gone? Or is it just inside you? Fueling you from the inside out? What really happens after we eat?
