I’m a 45-year- old fast eater. I always have been, and I suspect it was linked to having older brothers and ‘racing’ to finish. In the Christmas issue, a study showed a link between fast eating and heart issues (p21). Is this because of how the body’s digestive system works, or is it linked to fast eaters being ‘fast’ in other aspects of life, which has a negative impact, because of work, stress, anxiety, etc? For the record, while I am a fast eater, I’m generally pretty chilled in most other aspects of life! Pete Starr, via email
