What causes humans to begin and end a meal? A role for memory for what has been eaten, as evidenced by a study of multiple meal eating in amnesic patients

Article Abstract:

Multiple observations have been done on two amnesic patients to verify the findings of study done by Hebben et al. on perception of internal states after bilateral mediotemporal damage. The two subjects have extensive damage on the hippocampus and amygdala. The original research reported an amnesic subject named H.M. who ate a second full dinner, a minute after he had finished his first dinner. H.M. does not mention being hungry even if his meals have been delayed but eats in a normal manner when food is put before him.

Moralization and becoming a vegetarian: the transformation of preferences into values and the recruitment of disgust

Article Abstract:

A study on moralization was conducted to introduce and describe moralization and to provide evidence for some of its consequences in the topic of vegetarianism. Moralization converts preferences into values, consequently influencing the internalization and emotional response of people towards certain issues. Results indicate that meat avoidance is an early stage of moralization and is directly linked to the involvement of disgust and the emergence of vegetarianism in the country.
