In general terms, eating (formally, ingestion) is
the process of consuming food to provide for the
nutritional needs of an animal, particularly their
energy requirements and to grow. All animals must
eat organisms in order to survive: carnivores eat
other animals, herbivores eat plants, and omnivores
consume a mixture of both; see feeding.
Physiologically, eating is generally triggered by
hunger, but there are numerous physical and psychological
conditions that can affect appetite and disrupt
normal eating patterns. These include depression,
food allergies, ingestion of certain chemicals,
bulimia, anorexia nervosa, pituitary gland misfunction
and other endocrine problems, and numerous other
illnesses and eating disorders... |
