its not fucking "food noise" it is HUNGER!!!! you are HUNGRY!!!!!!! like a ANIMAL gets when its body NEEDS FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your ancestors did not resist starvation for thousands of generations for you to take a medication meant to stabilize blood sugar in people with diabetes, because you have been gaslit by the diet industry into thinking that feeling hungry is some unnatural dangerous force you need to "quiet down" in the death march towards eternally increasing thinness.
I understand what this post is getting at, but food noise is a specific term used by doctors and registered dietitians to describe constant intrusive thoughts in the context of eating disorders. It's not at all about suppressing hunger cues. Quieting food noise is an important part of eating disorder recovery and is used to help people gain weight and get more comfortable with eating. There are plenty of diet culture buzzwords to hate, but this isn't one of them.
unfortunately diet culture very much has been using this word regardless of its origins or how it is used in the context of eating disorders. i have seen an influencer who is literally getting paid to be in ads for a company that gets people GLP-1 subscriptions, talking about how GLP-1s are so normal basically everyone is on them and if you "need something to quiet the food noise and suppress your appetite" you should use the service she's shilling to "feel good about yourself" and get on GLP-1s.
its good to know the actual context of the term! but in this case people literally are using "food noise" to describe being hungry and using it to encourage fatphobic and disordered eating behaviors.
