Algorithms, bubbles and false balance, sentence 1

It is like a dinner lady who sees you take chips once and from then on piles only chips on your plate: she is not reading your mind, she is counting what you took, and soon you forget other food exists.

Who acts: feed, dinner lady, you, she, other food, your · What happens: be, see, take, pile, not read, count · To what, where: chips, plate, mind, dinner lady · Speech: someone speaks here
