The Talmud And Other Diet Books by Jonathan K. Crane. The New York Times. March 26, 2013.
A fascinating perspective from a professor of bioethics and Jewish thought at Emory University. He presents an approach based upon individual perceptions of satiety and not imposed from above. "Am I full?" should be replaced by "Am I satisfied?"
I was particularly impressed by this sentence: "A body stuffed with food and drink is full only of biology; it leaves no room for biography, for what makes us human."
