Summary

Currently, there are more than 1 billion obese people in the world and the number continues to rise. This figure coincides with rising rates of obesity-related chronic diseases and indicates that dysregulated feeding, such as overconsumption, has become a major global health issue. A complex interplay of social, economic, psychological, nutritional, and physiological forces influence ingestive behavior and demand an integrated research approach to advance the understanding of feeding and related health implications.
