Why food looks more appealing when hungry

Why food looks more appealing when hungry - Telegraph:

"Hunger really does make food look more appetising, say scientists.

A brain scan study has revealed that the appetite-stimulating gut hormone ghrelin rules our heads by making food look yummier too. The hormone is known to rise before meals, then fall after.

Researchers around the world are developing drugs and vaccines to block ghrelin, as a new approach to combat obesity."
