Why do old people eat less?
At Denny’s, there’s a “seniors’ menu”. Aparently the only thing about it that is different from the regular menu is that the portions and prices are smaller.
You see a lot of fat people around who are younger than about 60, but most of the older people seem to be trimmer. Could it be that the fat people die younger but the slim ones survive longer? It’s unhealthy to be fat.
Do old people metabolize nutrients more slowly? Are their bodies no longer in need of so many calories? Do they have the habit – formed during WW2 when food was a valuable rationed commodity – of savoring every bite and taking your time over it?
Two of your conclusions are correct. As we age, our metabolism slows and we need less food.
Also, age takes its toll on taste and smell ability. Some folks just don’t enjoy the taste of food anymore.
In WWII, in the US anyway, all food wasn’t rationed so much as certain kinds of food, like sugar, meat and coffee.
