I can see where that might happen. The brain is amazingly complex. I know that after I suffered Hypoxia my dr said that one of the side effects would be heightened reactions to certain stimuli as it related to general functions. IE if I got mad, I would get really mad, if I was happy I would get really happy, depressed, etc. for the most part I found this to be true. I can see where a previously passing interest in something like food could become an obsession. In my case one passion was playing guitar, I had to fight myself to get back to playing. Food and cooking became less important to me then it was before. Basically when you suffer a brain injury everything that you know becomes whacked and in most cases I think you are not always the same person. I know I'm not (Still great, but great in a different way
)
