From birth, the urge to eat is the most common everyday experience.
Eating to be nourished is the most basic behaviour of human life,
and is one of the main functions in all living organisms. Clear
answers to a number of important questions have only recently begun
to emerge. Why are animals hungry? How are they driven to seek and
eat selected foods? How do they become satiated so that they ingest
the exact amount of food they need for growth and to maintain
stable body weight in adulthood? This book is the first synthesis,
by one hand, of the new knowledge on feeding behaviour. It
describes the roles of body depletion and repletion of energy and
of specific nutrients, of the orosensory qualities of food and of
the brain in integrating and interpreting internal and external
signals. This volume complements that of B.J. & E.T. Rolls,
Thirst, in the same series.
