A member asked:

Is it normal to like the feeling of being hungry? it feels like a mind over body thing.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A hormone discovered known as "ghrelin" is known to spur hunger and have an anti stress; antidepressant effect. Of course this was only studied in mice in 2008.
