'WHY DO WE LOVE EATING SO MUCH?' - BEST ANSWER

"Why do we love eating so much, even to the detriment of our health? It's often the most sensual activity of the day. The Very act of eating - biting, chewing, tasting - pulls us into the present...when you're absorbed in food, you're unlikely to be thinking about other things. Eating relaxes us because it temporarily eclipses the problems of the day." - Eric Harrison
