What Road Do I Take?

Emotional Eating

Eating causes the Brain to Generate Feelings of Satisfaction, Comfort, and Well-being.

All Pleasurable Feelings Come from the SAME Brain Areas.

Love is an Emotion which Includes Feelings of Attraction and Affection.

Human DESIRE is the Fundamental Motivation of ALL Human Action.

We Need Food

Food is Important to Most People.

Food is More than Fuel

Eating is a Basic Human Need

Devour: to eat hungrily or very quickly

In General ... I Tend to Agree.
