an altar for the diet diety

this small fancy small altar stands in the far corner of the living room and is lit with dim bluish LED lights. the surface is cool Each time you find yourself opening the fridge or taking chocolate covered corn flakes or a handful of salted sunflower seeds take them to the altar and be proud to see how much you were going to eat today but didnt.

Shrine to good health[+]

but it's going to be hard to compost given how much salt I want to eat.

After you take the food to the altar, what do you do with it?

>deity perhaps? Yup. Why isn't Grammarly enabled here?

I just don’t get how taking it to the altar is not going to let you eat it. You don’t ever answer my questions so I might put a bone on your altar.
-- xandram, Apr 04 2022


The altar could have its top formed like a pair of hands, or the tongue of the diety. Once you put the food there, the concealed mechanism causes the tongue or hands to draw the food into the innards of the altar where it is automatically sorted, bagged, packaged up and sent off to the local foodbank.

Xan, I wasn't aware we had an altar for bones. I like that idea though. I might counter my good one with a bad one. Naaahhh

[poc] that is a nice idea.

As for this idea, I have been on many diets and one like this would only work for me if the surface of the altar was coated in poison. Once the food touched the surface then it really can no longer be eaten unless you want the consequences.

//far corner of the living room//
Would be better in the kitchen, next to the fridge. Once you've made your "offering", the food is returned to the fridge/cupboard. (I hate wasting food...)
