My guess is that's evidence you're a happy person then. The happiest moments of my life I rushed through my meals because even the tastiest meals were fucking boring in comparison to the other awesome shit I was doing. Food seems to only be a pleasure when I don't have much else to be happy about.
Do you think if you ever became depressed food would suddenly be the highlight of your day?
Could be. Good hypothesis as to why overeating is correlated with depression in general. I don't know what would happen if I became depressed. I haven't had any mental health issues in almost a decade, but when I did they all manifest as anxiety rather tham depression. I don't think I've ever been depressed in the long term, only time I've experienced it is as a comedown from LSD. The depression hangover. Which was pretty awful.
While your theory is probably right for depressed overeaters, personally I just don't enjoy food enough to see me ever being an overeater. Hence why I'm so skinny. Sex on the other hand.....
