As someone who went through childhood abuse, I can tell you that the food thing is very much more primal.

I still have memories 30 years later of trying to choke down meals with my throat cramped tight with fear and tears because my asshole father decided to kick off. :/

Something seeming to be common sense isn't the same as 7scientific investigation. Lots of things seem intuitively true but aren't, and foundational research paves the way for more complex studies. You can't base a study on something that seems about right, but you can base it on previously published research that supports your premise.
