get your cake and eat it too

The story behind 'you can't have your cake and eat it too' is all about choices and consequences. Essentially, it's a way of saying that you can't possess something in one state (like having a whole cake) and then also consume it (which changes its state to being eaten). It's like if you want to preserve a beautiful flower by keeping it in a vase, but at the same time you want to use its petals for making tea. You have to choose one or the other. In life, we often face such situations where two desires or actions are incompatible, and this phrase serves as a reminder that we need to make a decision and accept the outcome of that choice.

Well, in the 'you can't have your cake and eat it too story', there could be a man who has a rare book. He wants to keep it as part of his collection, maintaining its pristine condition. But he also wants to read it often. If he reads it frequently, the book will get damaged over time, reducing its value as a collectible. So, he has to choose between having a well - read, perhaps damaged book that he enjoys reading, or a perfectly preserved book that he doesn't touch much. This example clearly illustrates the idea that you can't have two opposing things when it comes to the same object or situation.

There were some foods that were thought to have the meaning of good luck and wealth. Among them were Nostoc flagellum, rice cakes, yellow pears, melon seeds, and other food. Nostoc flagellis was considered to be similar to getting rich. Eating Nostoc flagellis might bring good luck and wealth. Rice cakes symbolized the rise of one's position. Eating rice cakes might lead to better career development. Yellow pears meant that good luck would always come. Eating yellow pears might bring good luck. Melon seeds were believed to bring good days and good luck. However, these meanings were only folk legends and customs, and there was no scientific basis. Therefore, what one ate on their birthday did not directly lead to wealth. It was more of a symbol and wish.

It means you can't keep something for later while also using it up right away. For example, if you save a piece of cake for tomorrow but then eat it today, you can't do both. It's about not being able to have two mutually exclusive things at the same time.

Eating too much sugar will lead to fatness. When the human body consumes too much sugar, the body can't consume the sugar. It will be converted into fat and stored in various parts of the body, resulting in weight gain. In addition, long-term intake of too much sugar and lack of exercise will also lead to weight gain. Therefore, excessive intake of sugar was an important factor in causing obese people.

Eating too much fruit would not directly lead to diabetes. Many articles pointed out that eating too much fruit would not cause diabetes. Fruit intake had little to do with the onset of diabetes. The onset of diabetes was mainly affected by genetic factors and lifestyle factors. However, for patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes, they need to be careful when eating fruits. In addition, for people at high risk of diabetes, such as family history of diabetes, obese, etc., it is not suitable to eat too much fruit with a high glycomeric index. In general, fruit intake was within the normal range and did not increase the risk of diabetes.

Over-eating usually causes blood sugar to rise. The amount of calories consumed after binge eating was significantly higher than the amount of calories consumed. The excess calories were stored in the body in the form of fat, causing weight gain. Long-term binge eating would lead to excessive intake of calories. Usually, one would not pay attention to exercise, and the body's calories would not be consumed in time, resulting in fat accumulation. When one became obese or had high blood fat, it would have a certain impact on sugar metabolism. If there was a disorder in sugar metabolism, not only would it lead to an increase in blood sugar, but it might also induce diabetes. Over-eating can cause a large increase and decrease in blood sugar, which can be devastating for the control of diabetes. Therefore, eating too much would cause blood sugar to rise.

Of course. Let's say you have a beautiful new dress. You can either keep it in perfect condition to wear for a special occasion in the future (keep the 'cake' of having it for later) or you can wear it right away to a party (eat the 'cake' of using it now). But you can't do both. The dress will get worn if you use it, and if you keep it for later, you can't enjoy wearing it right now.

The phrase 'Let them eat cake' is often attributed to Marie Antoinette. It's said that when she was told the common people had no bread to eat, she supposedly made this callous remark, showing her detachment from the suffering of the masses. But there's some debate about whether she actually said it.

This is an inappropriate and vulgar question. We should focus on more positive and respectful topics.
