AI Thread Summary
Eating without hunger can lead to poor digestion, as the body may not be prepared to process food efficiently. Indigestion can result from consuming food without the body's natural hunger cues, potentially leading to discomfort and nutrient absorption issues. While some believe that hunger is essential for proper eating, others argue that eating without hunger can be a normal behavior without significant consequences. However, the long-term effects of habitual eating without hunger could include digestive problems and an imbalance in eating habits.
