Why Do People Eat?

Here is our philosophy of why people eat.

1. Nursing viewpoint: we eat to raise our blood sugar.

2. Psychology viewpoint: we eat comfort foods to feel better.

3. Nutritionist viewpoint: we eat for our nutrient needs.

4. Dietician viewpoint: we eat for caloric intake, to ease food cravings.

5. Psychiatrist viewpoint: we eat food to affect our neurotransmitters.

6. Counseling viewpoint: we are addicted to food.

7. Behaviour modification viewpoint: we are used to eating, it is a habit that needs to be modified, by portion control.

8. Neurotherapy viewpoint: the hypothalamus is in control, as the dominant gland in the brain, it tells us when to eat.

9. Naturopathic viewpoint: we eat to stimulate and balance our bodies with various healing and energetic foods and wavelengths.

10. Government viewpoint: we need to eat a quantity of food that all Canadian people should obtain each day, to have a normal intake of nutrients (DRI's).

Question: If all of these hold some value, how then do we just stop eating or diet to lose weight? Should we not instead increase our intake of naturally colored whole foods?
