Why do you eat?

[Mrvile]

I saw this in a health survey a while ago and I was curious to see why different people of different ages eat. Please include your age/age group when you post. I'm a teenager so I eat "because I'm starving," since I'm generally always starving.

I don't care if this is a repost.

why do you post?

 

[ElFenix]

i eat because i'm depressed. i'm depressed because i'm fat. i'm fat because i eat.

it's a vicious cycle that took years to set up.

Uh, out of curiosity? Why are you hostile?

 

[mobobuff]

Either because I'm "starving" [sic] or because I'm bored and it's there.

 

[moshquerade]

[Schadenfreude]

I eat because eating is a joy.

 

[Evadman]

[Detayned1447]

I usually eat because I'm hungry, but sometimes it just sounds too good to not eat it. 19 yrs old

You forgot, Because I have the Munchies

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

I don't normally eat at breakfast, lunch, and dinner time.

I eat when I'm hungry

However, If I've made arrangements to eat out, I'll make sure I'm hungry at that time

That has to be the dumbest question I have ever seen. It has no depth, and you are interpreting it, and actually, misrepresenting it, as a source for wisdom which it is certainly not.

A better and still futile question would be:

Do you eat without hunger, and if so, why?

I eat
-because I am hungry.
-because I need to live

 

There's a funny cartoon in the office I share with a few other people...it's a picture of a guy reading off a sheet of paper, and it says:

Why I work
A short essay

"I like food."
The End.

Let me guess...when a woman gives you a look, she grabs you balls and yells out...

"HE IS MY BITCH!"

I eat because it is hungry, but if you are talking about every meal that I eat, this is why I eat.

I eat about 5-6 meals a day, and I do them in 2.5-3.5 hour increments. I eat to prevent my body from eating away at my muscles, even if I don't feel hungry, i keep providing a source of energy for my body to consume so it doesn't go to my muscles. I'd rather over eat by a little, then starve for an hour or two.

 

[Acanthus]

I dont eat until im hungry.

 

[Lonyo]

I eat because I should.
Sometimes I eat when I'm not hungry, when it's not time to eat (like 11pm), when no one else is around, and I don't have a smoking or drinking habit.
Normally I eat because I need to eat at some stage, not because I really feel hungry.

All of the above, except change "Because I'm trying to give up smoking/drinking" to "Because I've got the munchies".

 

[skim milk]

Because I would like to gain weight
