It is a natural and biological imperative which is a source of pleasure and the basis of social ritual and a point of internal conflict. We often ask this simple question, " Why are we eating this right now? " but seldom find a simple answer. Most of the time, the need and wish for eating food is often driven by three forces i.e. primal Hunger, automatic Habit, and powerful Emotion.
