I'm currently on a diet and as a result, I end up on Reddit every now and again to see if there are any new insights to gain in regards to nutrition or motivation. A term I keep seeing is "food noise". I had no idea what it meant at first so I looked it up and... it's fucking hunger. That's it. Reddit niggers will try to argue that it's something deeper than that but it really isn't. If someone claims their "food noise" is really bad and that other people just don't get it, it just means that they're more prone to being hungry or that they have some sort of eating disorder. "Oh but it's a repeating intrusive thought that's super distracting". - Nigger, you're either mentally ill or - more likely - just fucking hungry.

I have no idea why diet fags and Redditors felt the need to invent yet another fucking word for something we already had a perfectly fine word for. I also have no idea why it pisses me off so much but for some reason "food noise" really grinds my gears. It's basically on par with "sweet treat", which I keep noticing more and more after having heard Josh and PPP complain about it on Kiwi Casino.

Why the fuck do we need new words for simple concepts such as dessert and hunger? Is it because people are pussy faggots and need euphemisms for things that make them even slightly uncomfortable or is it something else entirely?
 
I'm actually going to defend the faggy redditors here. their choice of phrase is gay but there is a distinction between actual hunger and being kinda bored and listless so you wind up staring into the fridge for minutes on end.

When I quit smoking I was "hungry" 24/7 but it wasn't a real hunger I was just restless, stressed and bored from breaking an addiction. I imagine the same is true and worse for breaking a food addiction.
 
Food noise is a real thing, it's different from hunger because it's the drive to compulsively eat or overeat instead of eating what you need/eating until you're satiated and not stuffed. It's an issue for people with binge eating disorders and food addiction, as well as prominent in those who are quitting substances or other addictive practices and behaviors and have a transfer into overeating.

Redditors tend to overkill actual terms to justify their behaviors, which is why you see it often. And it's also a huge presence in those using GLP-1s because Ozempic and other similar drugs usually curb the basic feedback loop. But it's up to the individual on whether they respect the way their body is handling food or if they ignore it and eat out of habit.

It can be hormonal too. I can't stop thinking about sugar during a certain time of the month. You try to bury the thoughts but it's not that easy. The best way to mitigate it is to not keep too much junk in the house. But don't completely cut it out. Because it can cause you to binge.

Sweet treat isn't new. The words rhyme so they have been used for marketing in the past. It's just trendy again. I remember seeing it on a watermelon ad in the 80s. Maybe we need to push people towards fruit again.

Yeah, we used to call that feeling "cravings". Again, no need for a new word.

Some arguments in the responses thus far seemed interesting though. I suppose there's a chance it's similar to other genuine unique concepts that exist that simply get mentioned way more often than they should be, especially on Reddit - think OCD, ADHD, autism and other disorders people really like to diagnose themselves with.

I still believe food noise is simply hunger and/or cravings for the vast majority of retards on Reddit who mention it. Also, if you really do get cravings and act on them because "you're bored", you need to bring it up with a licensed therapist. No amount of calling it "food noise" and browsing Reddit will save you if that's your problem.
 
On seeing the thread title, thought "food noise" was stuff like the sound of apples tumbling out of a barrel, or the sizzling of a frying egg... not some Current Year thing.

Craving still seems the more sensible term for it than 'Food Noise'. When you crave something its not necessarily for a logical reason or it might override the sense. Maybe you need a specific thing from it (a need of a specific vitamin often motivating odd pregnancy cravings).

Just feels like yet more childproofing language to try to dodge some of the judgement. I don't find myself craving a sweet or wanting ice cream because I'm suffering. It's because the food is good and I want to shove more of it into my craw until the logical side goes 'Hey stupid you're going to feel like ass if you do'.
