Vegetables and animal meat can be gathered for food. Animals such as deer, chicken, and rabbits prance about, and harvesting them is recommended. Armed with a knife, you can collect Raw Meat and Animal Fat, both of which are used in food recipes. Eating food is critical in the game. Doing so can replenish your health bar, give you a stamina bonus, and sometimes help alleviate thirst or provide a buff. There are dozens of food recipes in 7 Days to Die. Cooking food is the best way to stave off starvation, plus it removes any chance of getting dysentery.…

by Laura Rubino, PhD student in clinical psychology at Drexel University and2024  CEED Summer Research Fellow A common refrain among parents is, “Why won’t you eat it?” “Please just try it, you’ll like it!” and “My child is such a picky eater!” Although picky eating is common (kids aren’t doing it just to be difficult!), it can be incredibly frustrating for parents and caregivers when their child refuses to eat a food—especially when they know it is good for their child.  In response to this frustration and in efforts to help increase the variety of foods kids eat—specifically fruits and…

My name is Rebecca. I am the youngest of six and was raised in a household where body image and appearance were always given significant attention. My eating disorder developed in my early twenties during my junior year of college on a semester in Paris. I starved myself and believed doing so held me above everyone else. This behavior also marked the beginning of exercise and restriction for me. Before I made the decision to seek treatment, my eating disorder was at its worst. The restriction and depression had a 100% hold on my life. Complications from a surgery compounded…

Roughly 60 percent of the calories in the average American diet come from highly processed foods. We’ve known for decades that eating such packaged products — like some breakfast cereals, snack bars, frozen meals and virtually all packaged sweets, among many other things — is linked to unwelcome health outcomes, like an increased risk of diabetes, obesity and even cancer. But more recent studies point to another major downside to these often delicious, always convenient foods: They appear to have a significant impact on our minds, too.Research from the past ten or so years has shown that the more ultraprocessed foods…

The go signals are primarily thoughts, but also feelings and sensations, that drive us to eat (or keep eating), and they are independent of actual physical hunger. The reason I say go signals are primarily thoughts is because the physical feelings and…

As an internist in the public primary care clinic at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, Dr. Hilary Seligman often asked her patients about their diets. One conversation that stands out involved a man in his 50s, a longtime patient she had just diagnosed with prediabetes. Asked to describe his meals, he revealed that his daily lunch was a sandwich of Spam between two cinnamon rolls.“It really shocked me,” says Seligman. She couldn’t fathom why someone would even put those two foods together until she realized he did it because it was affordable and kept him full until he had enough…
