Everybody has to work out her/his own dietary system; the natural goods of this world should be 'consumed' in a conscious manner. In this sense, eating is a holy act, which can arise our consciousness of this world. Parts of your environment become parts of your body, so eating is a matter of purity and ethics (e.g. eating and being eaten, leaving enough for others).

There is a good relationship between happiness and food especiallyin occasions and psychological stat. This is an important cause in obesity and bad habits of eating

Food has a physiological and psychological satisfaction which depend on people and their culture. Food choice and preference also depend on several factors like age, economic status and gender etc.. Therefore, food unsatisfaction due to these factors can lead to unhappiness!!

my opinion!

Take vegetarian food ,offer prayers and food to God before consuming to yourself

" Chocolate consumption is anecdotally associated with an increase in happiness, but little experimental work has examined this effect. We combined a food type manipulation (chocolate vs. crackers) with a mindfulness manipulation (mindful consumption vs. non-mindful consumption) and examined the impact on positive mood. Participants (N = 258) were randomly assigned to eat a small portion (75 calories) of chocolate or a control food (crackers) in a mindful or non-mindful way. Participants who were instructed to mindfully eat chocolate had a greater increase in positive mood compared to participants who were instructed to eat chocolate non-mindfully or crackers either mindfully or non-mindfully. Additional analyses revealed that self-reported liking of the food partially mediated this effect. Chocolate appears to increase positive mood, but particularly when it is eaten mindfully"( Meier, B. P., Noll, S. W., & Molokwu, O. J. (2017). The sweet life: The effect of mindful chocolate consumption on mood. Appetite, 108, 21-27. )

I agree with Stephen's answer!

Yes, well said by Stephen I. Ternyik as some scientis do say '' we are what we eat''

When I was young, I spent every vacation in tourist campaigns - 30-40 days in some completely wild uninhabited places - in the North of Siberia or in the Far East (Russia). It was a rafting through very dangerous rapids on a kayaks, canoe or inflatable boats.

Accordingly, as far as food was concerned, a considerable part of the daily ration was chocolate as well as other high-calorie foods. I don’t know if there is a connection between such a high-calorie diet and what I now have for chocolate is an allergy. And my main meal is chicken broth, which as a daily meal - does not always contribute to a good mood.

I treat food more utilitarian - it’s just a necessity. "Do not make a cult of food!" Although a piece of good cheese ...

But in some countries there is a namely cult of eating. I saw this in Ukraine and in Italy (even there is a book "Food - Italian Happiness" by E. Kostyukevich with a foreword by U. Eco (in Russian). Italian variant: «Perché agli italiani piace parlare del cibo»; Milano : Frassinelli, 2006). Sometimes abroad it is interesting to see (and test) not only sights, but also “what and how people eat”. Cooking speaks about the nation no less than other manifestations of culture.

Dear Wesam Salah Ibrahim,

I do not see direct correlation between eating and happiness. It seems we have omitted variable bias in our model. Instead, there is a strong correlation between expectation and happiness. If you can eat the food which you most desire you might be very happy. In this case, you might be happier than having luxury food you don't know or desire. This expectation-happiness correlation may apply to many things other than food.

Some people, like my dear colleague Vadim S. Gorshkov, have a lower expectation. They would be happy most of the time since their expectations are often met. In contrast, some people with higher expectation experience happiness less often as their expectations are rarely met.

This is a very strange interpretation of my answer.

I feel happy when I eat rice with almonds, liver and ausban, it's the most famous Libyan dish

Definitely there is relation between Eating and Happiness.

But, duration of happiness? Yes, it is important. It is very very short happiness. For the duration when food is mouth or the duration for which, we are eating or hardly few hours after eating.

Off course when hunger is at peak, happiness is more. Taste not matters too much. But, again as I said, it is for short duration.

The happiness in spending time with nature, friends and family is much more and comparatively longer than the happiness obtained during the eating.

We should try for long term happiness.
