**Hi Susan,

Really the bonding through eating is in the social interaction and contact.

**And you know why...? Eating fills the stomach and then the intestines and 
when they get filled, cholecystokinines (cck's) are produced and this in 
turn triggers oxytocin release... which makes people open and ready for 
interaction and more friendly and trusting. :o)) That is why business diners 
are lucrative: being full of trust will cause people to make deals with 
those they share a rich dinner table with.

Warmly,

Marianne Vanderveen IBCLC, Netherlands
