All animals sense hunger and thirst and satisfy these by eating and drinking. If they do not; they die. Uncovering and understanding the systems for compelling and controlling what and when animals eat and drink has interested biologists for centuries. Some consider this the “holy grail” of biology.
We biologists are lucky; we experience what we study. We have an insider’s view. We know the tug of war of hunger and satiety. We can know a lot about eating just by thinking about our own hunger and satiety. We become hungry, we eat; we become satisfied, we stop eating; time passes and we become hungry again and we eat again and so it goes. Some of us live to eat, others eat to live; regardless, it’s vitally important to all of us. It’s also subtly important to all of us. Everything changes with eating; hormones, metabolites, body temperature, blood pressure, body composition, obesity, glucose tolerance, neural activities, fertility, health, disease, longevity. You name it; you measure it; eating changes it.
