What is Food Cue

Today, people's food consumption is due to the pleasure they feel for that food rather than their physiological needs. This situation is explained by the view of hedonism. According to this view, the happiness of a person in life is hidden in the pleasure and pleasure he receives from that life. Hedonic hunger, on the other hand, is when a person does not need energy but wants to consume that food for the pleasure he gets from delicious foods. Hedonic hunger prevents the homeostatic pathway when the energy in the body is higher than normal and increases the desire of the person to eat delicious foods. Food enjoyment may induce 'non-homoeostatic' eating. This could potentially contribute to obesity. Obesity has genetic and environmental interactions. It is also a serious and chronic disease. Today, it has become a growing health problem. Since obesity has become a very important health problem that threatens human health, it is very important to understand hedonic hunger in order to establish a meaningful connection between an individual's unhealthy lifestyle and food consumption.
