Provide an explanation for the higher food consumption of people who eat in the presence of others
?People tend to eat more when socializing with others. Pleasant conversations extend the duration of a meal, allowing a person more time to eat more, and the longer the meal, the greater the consumption. In addition, by taking a visual cue from companions, a person might eat more when others at the table eat large portions or go to the buffet line for seconds. Social interactions also distract a person from paying attention to how much has been eaten. In some cases, socializing with friends during a meal may provide comfort and lower a person's motivation to limit consumption. In other cases, socializing with unfamiliar people during a meal-during a job interview or blind date, for example-may create stress and reduce food consumption. To eat less while socializing, pay attention to portion size.
