Never really understood the concept. What comfort is there in eating a specific type of food?

Sugar high? Theobromin high? Fats&salt high (if there is one)?

Be glad you're not in that hook. X)

So it's not as much the food that is being consumed as it is the gaining of substances? Interesting. Still don't quite understand the "comfort" aspect, or how it's supposed to help when you're feeling down. Oh well. People are fascinating ^^'

Yummy taste -> endorphin-release in the body -> feeling better ("comforted") :)

But yes it's a silly concept and not very healthy at all. I try my best to avoid it ^__^

(though the release of endorphines is more of a learned (psychological) thing in the first place, so I guess it doesn't work that way if you never conditioned yourself to the reaction in the first place)

I believe this is exactly the case.
