No wonder that it doesn't always work correctly.I think instinct is exactly the right word. The brain feels a very large threat and clearly tells you what you must do to make the threat go away: EAT!The higher functions of the brain, like making rational choices, are put on the back burner until the impending disaster has been averted.</blockquote>
