A decrease in appetite can be caused by sickness, being full (having just/recently eaten a large meal), or viewing something especially unpleasent. An increase in appetite can be caused by stress, anger, or basically any emotion. (ex: people eat when they are nervous) Or it could simply be caused by a long lack of food. (People that were at one point expeirencing starvation in their life may for the rest of their life have a larger-than-normal appetite. Genetics can, as almost always, play a role in the size of one's appetite. (ex: He has an appetite as large as his father's!)
