This particular area of our physiques contains many fat cells and so ideally attracts those excess calories that we fail to burn on any given day.

In conversations, especially, there’s a real fear of silence, an awkwardness that sort of permeates the in between spaces where there is no one talking and most people will do anything possible to fill up that silence with noise regardless of whether or not it’s going to damage their chances of selling their product or service.
