3 Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.

You know that hunger you feel at the end of the fast, where you are willing to anything in sight because it all sounds good. I think of that when I read this scripture and feasting upon the words of Christ. We are so hungry for truth and knowledge we want to gobble it all up. We want to read and learn as much as we can.
Then there re are other times where we feel only slightly hungry. We get more picky. We may want to eat this but not that. It can be like, yeah, I like that, but I'm not in the mood for it. There's something specific we have in mind. These are times where we are seeking something specific from the scriptures and become picky about what we read. This is not feasting. This is going back and forth to the kitchen every 5 minutes looking for something to eat but never getting anything (we think what we want will magically appear but it never does). We finally settle for something that sounds okay and walk away unsatisified.
We need to approach our scripture study like the first example and not the second. And lets hope we never get to the point where we're "full" and feel we don't need anymore nourishment from the good word of God.
The trick is to always remain "spiritually hungry" so we can feast like the scripture advises. Any thoughts on how to do this?
Don't fill up on garbage.
