Another win for Chimpanzees! They have been found using Anvils and Cleavers to chop up their food into 'more manageable portions'.
Tool use amongst our cousins is becoming more and more prevalent! http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_new...427974.stm

What I want to know is if damn chimps can learn to size down their food to make it more manageable, why the hell can't humans? I saw some guy yesterday take a bite of his cheesesteak, he must have eaten half in one bite.

I saw some guy yesterday take a bite of his cheesesteak, he must have eaten half in one bite.  The majority of people do just that, but food related illness like gluttony will not disappear until we can find a cure for the physical and psychological problems that cause individuals to intake food in such a way. Some people are unfortunately born with such a problem and seem predisposed to continuing their behaviour as if it is their nature and not a choice they consciously make. I saw a docco on TV a while ago about people who are physically unable to make the link between the need to eat and the desire to eat - they inevitably cannot stop the bad eating habits because the brain-body connection is missing or severely impaired.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
