Hoarding (food or non-food) is usually a response to trauma or extreme stress of some kind. It's a survival instinct that's iut of context. If you watch any of those hoarder reality shows, most of those people have suffered some kind of physical or psychological loss.

This. Loss of a marriage/death of the child, is the usual reason on those shows. Then the love missing is displaced onto a pet, then pet collecting, and then the depression combined with caretaking a pet becomes too much, and they stop cleaning up, just too damn fatigued to wipe down counters, pick up shit from the floor, etc. It all snowballs from there.

Preppers, the food hoarders, not sure the origin exactly on that. I live in the Hurricane warning South, and in fact, have lost all my belongings twice over. Once a year, I do start stockpiling a few things beyond the fridge. I get a second canister filled of propane for the BBQ grill. I've learned long ago that I don't buy a thing I don't ordinarily eat. So, when BOGOs and other sales start to present themselves, I double up on cans of my favorite soups, Progresso, and canned drinks by the pallet. Soda gatorade, iced tea, iced coffee, carbonated fruit drinks, and bottled waters into the garage, or near the garage fridge. I buy a couple jars of chunky peanut butter, some cans of bean salad worthy beans that can morph into chili or whatever later I might want, check my supplies of vinegars and oils, and boxes of nature valley granola, unsalted nut mixes, tortilla chips, etc. When an actual storm warning comes, I assume I could lose power for a couple of weeks, so every item of laundry gets done and tubs and bathrooms are scrubbed. I'll do a mega grocery store run for a bag of tangerine, bag of apples, cheese and sandwich meat that can go into an ice chest or two. If I have to evacuate, it's easy to fill up a car with these items. Until hurricane season is over, my pantry looks horribly packed.
