Might be from a TV show, too, now that I think about it. It’s been driving me crazy. I apologize for how vague it is - in it, there are two people, who suddenly have access to some sort of food they’ve been denied. They rush to it, and start stuffing their faces. Then, they start to feel guilty (you can see it in their faces) and they stop chewing. One of them might even take the spit out the half-chewed food. I’m almost certain that this is from something fairly mainstream. Any help? ---

Perhaps the scene in **The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers** when Merry & Pippin stumble upon a food source near Isengard? It’s been a while since I saw the film so I don’t remember the specifics. ---

There’s a sort of similar scene in _Jurassic Park_ when the children finally make it back to the compound and start hungrily eating the feast that had been laid out for the guests earlier. They stop eating, in terror, when they look up and see that they’ve been followed into the dining room by a dinosaur. ---

I’m pretty sure it’s not _Jurassic Park_, as the stopping force was more guilt than fear. Might have been _LotR_. Any other ideas? I’m sure that scene has played out many times in Biggest Loser, as in _Jaws IX: The Diet_. ---

Can you give us a hint as to when you saw this movie or tv show? Was ut last year? Five years ago? Twenty-five years ago? It would help us to narrow down the possible movies if you told us. ---

Yeah, I know I’m no help at all. The scene has just been playing in my head for the last few days - I have no idea where it comes from. Was there a scene in _Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory_ where Charlie digs into a Wonka Bar, but ends up stopping in disgust/shame?
