Why do you eat?

I saw this in a health survey a while ago and I was curious to see why different people of different ages eat. Please include your age/age group when you post. I'm a teenager so I eat "because I'm starving," since I'm generally always starving.

I don't care if this is a repost.
 
i eat because i'm depressed. i'm depressed because i'm fat. i'm fat because i eat.

it's a vicious cycle that took years to set up.
 
I don't normally eat at breakfast, lunch, and dinner time.

I eat when I'm hungry 😛

However, If I've made arrangements to eat out, I'll make sure I'm hungry at that time 😛
 
That has to be the dumbest question I have ever seen. It has no depth, and you are interpreting it, and actually, misrepresenting it, as a source for wisdom which it is certainly not.

A better and still futile question would be:

Do you eat without hunger, and if so, why?
 
There's a funny cartoon in the office I share with a few other people...it's a picture of a guy reading off a sheet of paper, and it says:

Why I work
A short essay

"I like food."
The End.

😀
 
I eat because it is hungry, but if you are talking about every meal that I eat, this is why I eat.

I eat about 5-6 meals a day, and I do them in 2.5-3.5 hour increments. I eat to prevent my body from eating away at my muscles, even if I don't feel hungry, i keep providing a source of energy for my body to consume so it doesn't go to my muscles. I'd rather over eat by a little, then starve for an hour or two.
 
I eat because I should.
Sometimes I eat when I'm not hungry, when it's not time to eat (like 11pm), when no one else is around, and I don't have a smoking or drinking habit.
Normally I eat because I need to eat at some stage, not because I really feel hungry.
 
All of the above, except change "Because I'm trying to give up smoking/drinking" to "Because I've got the munchies".
