Why are you sometimes able to eat a lot of candy or something sweet even though you cannot eat anymore of something fatty or savory, as if you have a second stomach for sweet foods?

It is because – in a roundabout way – you do. Technically it is a second stomach for desserts/snacks, but usually desserts are sweet so it can be considered somewhat equivalent (hence why it was roundabout). And the effect stacks, you can have dessert to your dessert! But the spatial shenanigans has a limit, the *second* second stomach will start feeling full much sooner than the first second one (god I love this sentence). And as you iterate, it gets quicker each time.
As a post-script: the older you get, the less your body seems capable of performing those spatial transformations. Or perhaps its just a matter of perception and the amount stays the same, but decreases in relation to the amount you can normally eat (as that increases as you grow)?
