Eating behaviour experiment - Horizon - BBC

Why are some of so much better at walking past an open bar of chocolate or pack of biscuits than others? Professor Jane Wardle monitors an eating experiment amongst children in a nursery to explain how eating pattens established in our childhood might hold the key.

I would like to see this experiment again but with cucumber stick instead or any other boring food product. The question was why people persistently eat more than they need to.

I like cheese :P yum!

@Zooumberg Nope. You're wrong.

[Zooumberg]

@royce487 Yes it does, its called English. As in the English language. Chiefly spoken in England. Now behavior without the U is also English. But a slightly different version spoken and spelt slightly differently. Theres other examples of this. Tyre and Tire or colour and color. Theres actually very many different examples. Try looking it up Royce once in a while, especially if you're from the United Kingdom. Thats a small group of islands west of Europe.

The word "behavior" doesn't contain the letter "u" (behaviour).

Damn what's with mike totally hammering on heavier people? What a meanie.

[JohnsonLobster]

They didn't answer the only interesting question : "why ?".

[daviddalbylive]

The experiment is flawed because the teacjer was using leading questions by saying to the child .... you think your tummy is full ... whole think is a fraud.

@guitarsly111 For the trait of obesity is to be lost through natural selection would require that the obese did not reach sexual maturity and pass on their DNA. In my experience obese people seem to do remarkably well at sexual reproduction and we have a health service that aids them.

this is pissing me offffffffffffffffffffff

this is TOTAL lies. telling people their eating habits are fixed from a young age. letting fat idiots blame yet another cause other than their own poor choices for their greed, and ugly waistlines.

we can change our eating habits any time we want to, and we alone are responsible for what we stuff in our mouths, and the amount of exercise we do.

stop making excuses for fatties; it is: GREED, SLOTH, STUPIDITY, and IGNORANCE.

nothing else.
