Why are you not full?
This is because of tape worms that live inside your body. If you love to eat something a lot, and you eat it a lot, a tapeworm forms and asks you for more and more of that food. This mostly happens to cases where junk food is the obession. The more you eat that food, the more the tapeworm sucks it up, and the more it asks you for more. So if you notice you eat something and you don't get full, this is probably because that tapeworm keeps asking you for more food. I hope this answers your question. ^_^
