The act of eating is the response to a simple physiological need required for survival. But in reality this act is only possible if there is food available to satisfy hunger; if it exists, anything can satisfy it, as long as it is edible. If, however, there is no real hunger, then eating becomes a pleasure and is preceded by choosing well-known ingredients as well as knowing how to cook them to obtain a dish that also satisfies our tastes and activates the brain circuitry of reward, giving us pleasure.

Abstract

The act of eating is the response to a simple physiological need required for survival. But in reality this act is only possible if there is food available to satisfy hunger; if it exists, anything can satisfy it, as long as it is edible. If, however, there is no real hunger, then eating becomes a pleasure and is preceded by choosing well-known ingredients as well as knowing how to cook them to obtain a dish that also satisfies our tastes and activates the brain circuitry of reward, giving us pleasure.
