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.
Yeah, Ophra, Me Too.
