  This text examines the range of human and animal behavior associated with obtaining and consuming food and drink. lt looks at how organisms regulate the amount they consume and the roles of learning and motivation in the choice of food. The book includes substantial discussions of abnormal eating and drinking behavior and concise descriptions of what is currently known about anorexia, bulimia, and obesity. Originally published in 1986, this new, thoroughly revised edition features three new chapters that explore practical applications of the psychology of eating and drinking to areas such as female reproduction, smoking, and cuisine and wine tasting.
