I think they're trying really hard to not translate the name of the practice to make it seem cooler or esoteric or something. But it literally translates to "stomach 8 10 percents" 😂

"The meal isn't over when I'm full. The meal is over when I hate myself!"

I definitely have the problem that if I try to eat until I'm 100% full, that it doesn't stop. Feels like my stomach is a bottomless pit. Meanwhile, my coworker eats like half a portion and then can't fit another bite.

The real issue here is Americans and many westerners have been binge eating disgusting processed junk since very early childhood.

Permanently damaging or even destroying their biological mechanisms for feeling full

This leads to a weird obsession with other cultures that contain knowledge and practices for eating in a particular manner

They are quite literally missing an upbringing where their culture and parents taught them to stop eating

Mods be crazy out here. Allow me to rephrase. If you think reading an article gives you enough insight in to a whole nation's people you are a severely cloistered and incurious person and should have some more empathy for your fellow man. Dont be THAT guy.
