Our elderly appetites

Most of the guys I lunch with order soup and salad.  I am impressed at how our desire for food as well as our capacity for food have shrunk. The two of us sometimes split a meal advertised for one and there are even times when there are leftovers from the split meal.  There are situations where we know the former weights and portions of what we ate but are not interested or capable of eating that quantity now.
