The Day the Food Noise Died

The Day the Food Noise Died. Before the rise of GLP-1s, obesity experts didn’t study the internal buzz that compels people to eat. Now that food noise is being switched off, they want to understand it, by Gina Kolata www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/h... via @nytimes.com

“People who are not struggling with their weight can be very judgmental,” Dr. Daniel Drucker said. “They never had their brains driving their behavior.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/h...

This is interesting and clearly about something real but I think “a running internal dialogue about food that drives them to continue eating” is probably pretty rare among people with an overactive hunger drive. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/h...

I'm glad to see this condition is being written about more in mainstream places; I've been a lifelong sufferer, appreciative of seeing it confirmed as *real* (not that I haven't known it's hella real for the last 50+ yrs). Glad I lived to see it.

"The new obesity drugs seem to be resetting the set point at a lower level. As a result, people still can get hungry, but she says they no longer have a running internal dialogue about food that drives them to continue eating." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/h...
