dinner with trimalchio

I can be honest and say this wasn't my favorite read, however it did keep me wanting to know more. Its really weird because before this class I never really paid attention to the history in food. The had enough food to feed a village, just to impress guest. I cannot believe that actually a temped to eat it all, as if they didn't know when they would eat again. It was really selfish to me and a waste. I don't think they know that over eating is a sin, or maybe they did and didn't care. I couldn't understand why he was being so rude to the servants. I know he was drinking, but something tells me that wouldn't have mattered. Violently treating them after they have done everything you ask is unbelievable. When they gave details about the food that they were eating I had to stop reading. It sounds absolutely disgusting. I feel like when your wealthy you don't have to show off it will show for its self! I don't understand how self centered he was and how everything revolved around only him.
