Are you craving comfort food? The research behind craving food is reinforced by the idea that it's not the hunger for the particular food itself, but the feeling it provides that brings on a craving.
In November 2008, Brian Wansink, a marketing professor, who heads the lab at the Food and Brand Lab at UL Urbana-Champaign, explains: "Comfort foods are foods whose consumption evoke a psychologically pleasurable state ...".
Drawing from national survey questionnaires, the lab has concluded that a person's comfort-food preferences are formed at an early age and are triggered, in addition to hunger, by conditioned associations.

Thursday
Great! A short work week! It's already Thursday--but payday will be delayed until tomorrow morning. Sadness.
I had a good sales day. Karyn did not show up for work because she couldn't open her eye and felt "uggie".
Suzy caught me at pops (via a phone call). I was dropping Dad the San Francisco Examiner now that I am subscribing. I was being nice as I know he likes to be kept up-to-date with the latest Bay Area news.
Sue asked, "So yeah, I feel like eating Chinese food tonight, wanna go?"
"Hmmm...you know that sounds good to me."
When I arrived at her pad I suggested that we invite her brother, Mike Miller. And so, it was the three of us having a delicious Chinese dinner. The price was right at this place in Alameda.
Sue had the day off tomorrow, so it was no wonder that she called to go out. We were almost going to see "The Cotton Club" movie since we drove over to the SHOWCASE THEATER at South Shore Shopping Center three times (but we did not go after all).
I invited Sue to my pad and we watched some random television shows. We also skimmed through the new SPIEGEL Catalog. Sue started to fall asleep, so she left at around 10:30PM. I 'jerked myself a soda' and went to bed.
