hahahahh! It just made me Laugh Out Loud!!!0

I read about this a few times as it is one of the "hot" items at CES this year. (Geek side of me keeps track of the Consumer Electronis Show each year) I find it intersting but I don't beleive I would buy it. The only thing that it does that might be helpful to me is eating at a slower pace. I am guilty of eathing FAST sometimes and I know that can cause you to overeat but I have been working on that myself and I am not sure I need my fork to vibrate to tell me to slow down.0

Saw this on MSN yesterday, thought it was kind of a cool idea for slowing down our eating. Will not spend money on it, but somebody will:laugh:0

Hmmm, I mean the concept certainly makes sense. Eating slowly does really help decrease your calorie count. Chewing your food more is also scientifically correlated with increased fullness after meals for some reason.
I've found that when I eat more slowly and chew more I definitely stay more full for longer (The calorie count isn't really applicable for me because I weigh my food before I put it on the plate!) - but counting to ~30 when I'm chewing is a lot cheaper than a $99 fork!!!!0 -
I heard about this on the radio yesterday, it's pretty silly!0

Gotta love all of the people judging...
I've been an extremely fast eater for years so this is something that might actually help me...
However...
There's no way I'd pay $100 for the thing. I'd consider $5-$10 max.0 -

I generally don't put vibrating electonics in my mouth ... :blushing:0 -
There's now a fork on the market that will start flashing red lights at you to let you know you're eating too much too quickly. It also yells, "Stop!" "Think what you're doing, you dummy!" "You have to wear a bathing suit in May," and asks "How are you going to fit into your wedding dress, Little Miss Piggy?!"
I wish that part was true...but they had to ruin it by saying it didnt actually talk. *Cry*0 -

That was my thought too!
I think it'd be cooler if it really talked.
I'd never spend $99 on it - not when like another said, i can count & use a free site called MFP ha0 -

Hahahaha. I feel like the people who make this must be laughing to themselves about it.0

Haha! Interesting idea. WAY overpriced, though. I have to often remind myself to slow down when eating, as it is not like most other tasks that I just want to "get over with." But sometimes a reminder would help, like my grandma sitting across from me saying "Slowww down! Chew your food and enjoy it." like she does every time I've eaten around her! lol0
