Fromaging (v.)

To search through the contents of the refrigerator looking for cheese or other foodstuffs high in saturated fat and/or sugar that one knows perfectly well one shouldn't be eating, what with being on a diet and all, but that one is resolutely determined to consume anyway.

Some biologists think that fromaging is a throwback to our evolutionary past as hunter-gatherers in which a certain amount of rooting around in the undergrowth was required in order to locate tasty morsels. However, most scientists disagree with this view and are of opinion that it has more to do with the fact that human beings are, by nature, nurture, or a combination of both, greedy little buggers.
