Because when you smell food it sends a signal up to your brain and that alerts you that you are now hungry. For some people it is a mind set thing. When they smell food they automatically think they are hungry, or need food.

Your nose smells food

Your brain realizes that the smell is food

Your brain prepares the body for the food by producing saliva in the mouth, regardless of whether or not you are going to eat the food.

In other words, your brain is prapareing your body to eat the food.

When you see food your brain anticipates that you will be eating soon and therefore starts the process of digesting food by releasing the primary digestive juices in the form of saliva from the main saliva glands under your tounge.
