When eating stops registering as sensation
About this episode
The episode explores the disconnect between eating as a task and the body's sensory experience of food.
Eating is often treated as a task with inputs and outputs. But the body does not process food as information alone. It relies on texture, resistance, taste, and internal signaling to register what is happening. This conversation stays close to that gap. Between engineered food and bodily feedback. Between speed and recognition. Between what is consumed and what is actually felt. Interoception, sensory response, and the simple experience of crunch become entry points into a broader question: what does it mean when eating no longer clearly registers in the body. Nothing here is positioned as something to fix. It is an attempt to stay with what can still be noticed.
