The Trigger Diet
Much of what we eat is designed by food-corporation chemists to keep us hungry. Most of the time it is a combination of wheat-milk-sugar-salt, similar to feeds for fattening farm animals.
| "It is not just the blend of salt, sugar and fat, but the combination of taste and smell which is now micro-engineered by the big food corporations’ chemists BBC." |

Breaking News: Study finds sugary drinks cause children to eat more: "Cornell team's study of 30 children aged 6 to 12 found that on days when they drank sweetened drinks, they took in, on average, 244 more calories a day. The children did not eat any less food to compensate for the extra calories in the sodas, lemonades and other drink treats." Journal of Pediatrics, June, 2003

Commercially Induced Carbohydrate Addiction?
Many factory-made foods contain appetite triggers: cow-food combinations of
wheat + milk + sugar + salt
—The way they cause over-eating may be that they do not send a signal to the brain that we have had enough food. Thus our appetites are not shut off. Many of us rarely feel so full that we would not want to eat for many hours. Instead we are hungry again in less than two hours. Then, unhappy with our weight gain, we seek to medicate our unhappiness with these very same foods. (Click also Love Diet.)

The psychology of over-eating is built upon food-activated brain chemistry causing hunger, and then complicated by using food as medication.
