Does life need training wheels?

It would seem that some people (by which I mean morons) need a
$500 piece of voluntary dental work to keep themselves from stuffing their pie holes too quickly.
An Atlanta company plans to begin selling a dental device that fits in your mouth and forces you to take smaller bites.
It could help you lose weight -- as long as you actually use it when you eat. The gadget isn't permanently attached, so you can leave it out and wolf down big bites anytime you want...
The company's chief executive says he lost 14 pounds simply by wearing it off and on over five months.
"Many people today ... eat so quickly their stomach doesn't have a chance to get (a) message to the brain" to stop eating, said CEO William Longley. "This helps slow you down, so you feel satisfied on less food."
I've heard of dogs that are too dumb to know when to stop eating, but I didn't realize that humans other than Michael Moore suffered from the same stupefying problem.
