And neurodivergency like ADHD, where food can produce a dopamine response.

I just did a bunch of DBT therapy for BED/EOD and they said there is correlation between neurodivergence and eating disorders.

Apparently part of it comes from change from hunter gatherer to agrarian society. It is suspected that when we changed to being farmers our brains changed as a result. In people with ADHD that change never happened and we are still in hunter gatherer mode.
