| Summary |
Eating is arguably the most fundamental of human activities. In Western societies in particular, there is great interest in diet, health, and food preferences. This book translates the latest research results on the psychology of eating for health and psychology professionals as well as lay readers. /// The volume explores the shift in eating research from the search for bodily signals that trigger hunger to a focus on eating patterns emerging from a learning process that is based on life experience. This new book offers hope that healthful eating patterns can be learned. The volume proposes models for normal eating behavior and discusses how and why eating deviates from these norms. /// "Why We Eat What We Eat" expands on themes in the well-received volume "Taste, Experience, and Feeding" (see record 1990-99060-000) and makes the information accessible to a wider audience.
