Globally, there are more than 1 billion obese people and another 800 million are chronically undernourished. Nearly 30,000 (half of them children) die everyday from malnutrition. In more affluent nations, these problems are exacerbated by eating disorders and food insecurity. In the United States, as many as 10 million females and 1 million males have an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. Approximately 25 million more have binge eating disorder. An estimated 35.1 million people live in households deemed food insecure and 10.8 million are considered food insecure with hunger. These problems stem from the interplay of political, economic, agricultural, nutritional, psychological, physiological, and social forces. Of course, each of these areas is also multifaceted, but all intersect on one key point: all influence ingestive behavior (when, where, what, and how much we choose to eat). As a result, expertise in each of these areas must be brought to bear on the problem of malnutrition (i.e., under- and overnutrition). This book focuses on the psychological and biological determinants of feeding, the governing influences when food availability is not limiting.
