This questions is a vague one and there are many factors that could possibly make you want more of the food.

It would totally depend on several factors and preferences.

Everyone has opinions on like and dislikes. Some people may love a certain flavor that would be a preference based decision to want more food. You may like certain herb or spice blends more than others, which would make you want more food.

An example of a drug interaction in the brain and body of humans would be sugar.

Sugar works in a complex way. Foods are rated on a glycemic index. Food items containing sugar that break down in your body and enter the blood steam quicker have a higher index number. The slower it enters the blood stream, the lower the index value.

When you eat a food that has a high glycemic index value, a lot of sugar is entering your blood stream fast. You start to feel a sugar "high". You brain notices this and your body starts releasing insulin to lower the sugar level in your bloodstream storing it for energy. Then it lowers the level low enough to cause you to experience a sugar "crash", thus, making you sluggish and lethargic. This makes your brain tell you that you want more sugary foods. This cycle perpetuates over and over until you stop eating the sugar.

For more on sugar and how it makes you crave sugary foods more, check out the episode of Good Eats: Citizen Cane. It is a very in depth explanation in regular person talk so you can easily understand in video format, making it super simple to understand.

Food coloring is added to make the product the "correct" color in the consumer's eye.

The same is true of certain processed meat products, particularly bologna and hot dogs. Most times during the preparation of the food, the original colouring is lost
