What Road Do I Take?
Emotional Eating
Body Chemicals Signal the Brain which Suppresses the Urge to Eat.
Eating & Emotions Need and Desire are Not All that Separate.
Eating Tasty Food Tickles the Brain vs Pleasure Centers.
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.
Food Tastes Good
We Need Food
Food is Important to Most People.
