MikeCFT answered Saturday May 20 2006, 12:01 pm: This is exactly America's problem- there are too many problem and boredom eaters who don't get any exercise. People eat when they're bored because its fun, you can really feel a sense of satisfaction physically, it sends hormone levels skyrocketing and really it all boils down to that its a circuit for people to release their aggression. Some do it through art, some music, some weightlifting or whatever they do and some just eat- its whatever your niche is. Boredom makes people do weird things- the best thing to do is obviously keep yourself busy. [ MikeCFT's advice column | Ask MikeCFT A Question ]

Sometimes people do it && don`t even notice it thats why people are over weight too.. But i usually try to keep busy so i won`t over eat..

herbivore answered Friday May 19 2006, 4:32 pm: they do this because they are bored and they have nothing else to do. this is a bad thing though, because people who are bored a lot gain more weight because they are eating when they arent even hungry! hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥ [ herbivore's advice column | Ask herbivore A Question ]

ThatWouldBeAPlan answered Friday May 19 2006, 1:32 pm: You are not asking for advice. You are asking for general information about human nature. Since this is an advice column, I will answer your question in the form of advice.
If you find yourself bored and wanting to munch something, try munching on something a little healthier. Instead of chips, try wheat thins; they're surprisingly good. You could also try chewing gum or doing more activity in general. Whatever keeps you busy. [ ThatWouldBeAPlan's advice column | Ask ThatWouldBeAPlan A Question ]
Mackenzie answered Friday May 19 2006, 1:19 pm: I guess because it's delicious and enjoyable? I don't know too many people who aren't a tremendous fan of food. It's really just something to do, and some people are more fond of it than others. It can really be a terribly unhealthy habbit, though. [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
