Highlights
Because of this, we felt that the creation of a new specialty section about determinants and consequences of eating behavior and mechanisms of its modulation is warranted
Food choices and consumption are strongly influenced by environmental factors, e.g., advertising, packaging, portion sizes, lighting, and many more (Stroebele and De Castro, 2004; Cohen and Babey, 2012)
Cases of anorexia nervosa have been known for a long time (Bemporad, 1996)
Summary
We felt that the creation of a new specialty section about determinants and consequences of eating behavior and mechanisms of its modulation is warranted. When humans are energy deficient, a complex interplay of physiological processes signals the brain that food should be consumed, i.e., an individual feels hungry. When enough food has been consumed, these processes signal that consumption should be terminated, i.e., an individual feels satiated or sated (Benelam, 2009).
