Food Addictions
Food addictions are a reality. There are various foods that get us hooked! Sweet, fatty, and salty foods are generally the culprits. We use food to celebrate, grieve, for boredom, stress, recreation, socializing, etc. We too often live to eat rather than eat to live. Why do we do this? What affects our desire to eat so much? And how can we get control of our unhealthy eating habits? In my research paper I plan to look at why people have food addictions and how can they overcome them.

This is a cool topic. Did you read the Daily Universe a few days ago? They had an article about how people often don't eat breakfast. One of the people they quoted said that our culture doesn't value eating - we eat while we read, watch tv, walk etc etc, but we don't eat for the sake of eating. I thought that was an interesting idea.
ReplyDeleteI have found that I love the found the most that is the worst for me. I don't understand why it has to always be like that. I thought you had a great topic.
ReplyDeleteI would love to read your research paper! I definitely have seen people fall into different eating habits - It would be cool to learn about such things to that I don't do the same! I though this topic was really applicable to society today.
