Mike,

This is *exactly* what I get.  It makes me wonder if the idea of being
full is a cultural thing and not a genetic one.  I find the best way to
avoid being hungry is to keep busy (hard when you work at a desk all
day).  It seems ironic, but if I spent all day burning energy (hunting,
gathering, buliding homes, making clothes, etc) I'd want to eat less
than I do now.
