According to "Good Calories, Bad Calories", by Gary Taubes, the hormonal chain that produces hunger has been worked out for quite a while. The chain basically involves insulin reacting with fat cells, which triggers hormones in the fat which are then sent to the brain, which turns on hunger effects. Hunger affects include decreasing energy consumption by inducing lethargy, the desire for food, and a decrease in metabolism which brings on feeling of cold. Its interesting that this discovery explains that the chemical is produced by fat, but fails to mention that insulin drives the process. Do they not know that? Or do they leave it out on purpose? The fact that they left it out, is probably the reason why you have bacon in your photo rather than a piece of cake. Jim
