When it comes to food, are you a "utility eater" or do you eat to enjoy your food?

Question

By utility eater, i mean someone who eats so that they're not hungry; your focus is not to enjoy your meal.

Answer 1

I absolutely ADORE food. I love to prepare it, eat it, smell it, look at it....and so on.
I love many different kinds of food too. I find it really remarkable how so many people prefer stuff like Cheese-Its and Ramen Noodles when we have a really diverse food group offered by nature.
To each his own, I guess...but good question!

Answer 2

Both. Sometimes I'm just a utility eater, but sometimes I really enjoy what I'm eating. Usually when I'm at work I just eat to stop being hungry because the food here blows. But when my wife and I go out on the weekends to a nice restaurant, I really enjoy what I'm eating.

Answer 3

I usually eat to enjoy my food, but sometimes you really just need to eat something because your body gets sick if you havn't eatten in a couple of hours, then it doesn't really matter if you enjoy it or not.

Answer 4

Some people eat to live; others live to eat. Place me in the live to eat category, the main reason I learned to cook was to eat good food.

Answer 5

Always for enjoyment! In fact, I'm sure I eat more than I need to on a regular basis, just cuz it tastes good! LOL

Answer 6

I love to sit and enjoy my meal, picking out the different spices, etc that were added....I love to cook as well.

Answer 7

I do both, eat to enjoy, and i enjoy to eat cuz im filling my belly... and i eat cuz i can

Answer 8
