Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

There can be several reasons. For some it can be medical. There are disorders out there that some people can't stop eating literly. For others they seak confort in food using food to resolve their problems instead of meating them head-on. And for some, diabetes and hypoglycemia cause people to have to eat several times a day. So that's some of the reasons people constantly feel the need to live at the fridge or constently head tward it.

Are you referring to food addiction? I thought of this also.Or a compulsive disorder.

This is so funny but so true. I do it all the time. I open the fridge looking for something - there is nothing I want. About 30 minutes later I will open that fridge again hoping that maybe I missed something when I looked earlier. Wouldn't it be great if you could wish something and return to find it in the fridge.

Reminds me of my hubby lol ! Very true indeed a hard habit for those that do. I have tried endlessly to break him of this ,Though I find it quite impossible. Even went as far as a mirror ,No luck..I guess its just a nasty habit, But no fridge fairies here that's for sure.
