marginal utility

Marginal Utility
Suppose Mr. X is unfertile and eats oranges one by common. The first orange gives him difficult pleasure. By the time he starts attractive the second, the intensity of his drawing diminishes to a certain extent, and back orange yields less satisfaction. The atonement derived from the third will be less than that of the sixtieth part of a minute, that of the fourth less than that of the third and so on. In this habit, the incremental utility will go on decreasing till it drops to zero, and if he takes more, the compensation may become even negative or disutility may fawn in.

We would not willingly consume an item that gave us negative marginal advantageousness. Then why would an individual trash themselves during a hot dog corroding contest where clearly the last passionate dogs consumed are making them worse away? Although the marginal utility from the last hot dog itself makes the one worse off, the utility from delightful the contest is greater making the marginal use positive.
The marginal utility of each item can change. For example, during a drought, water provides a strong positive marginal utility, and with in addition rain the marginal utility declines. At some point, there is too much rain, it turns from root a good utility to a poor one and the marginal utility of in addition rain, when it is already flooding, is...
