  • For researchers and health professionals, focusing on the psychological and environmental mechanisms behind eating habits can help develop strategies to reduce unintentional overeating through simple structural changes.

https://t.co/QPYq9KsDWD Restaurants more than many other companies use various degrees of persuasion to make sure you spend more even when you eat less. See how it's done so you don't always fall for it. #HSI https://t.co/oBdY1QDuc3
