    A timed device for dispensing food?

    The following idea has been in my head for many years. I would like to eat out of a gumball machine. It sounds funny, no? I eat way too fast. I often try taking the food one piece at a time, but I just can't stop my grabby hands. (This is when I'm eating normally at a table. Bingeing in my room...
