Social And Environmental Issues Lead To Overeating

Many experts feel that these are the culprits rather than a nutritional issue. By being aware of our surroundings and 'cues,' perhaps we can control overeating and make ourselves, and our children, healthier.

People unknowingly "booby-trap" their own homes in a way that can lead to overeating, a nutritional expert who has conducted hundreds of food studies said Thursday.

Brian Wansink told a joint meeting of the canadian diabetes associationlinks and the Canadian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism that some people blame obesity on fast food, the government and food companies, but the food fight really begins at home.

The solution isn't concentration and willpower, he told more than 3,000 delegates at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

"One thing we can start doing is start re-engineering our environment so it mindlessly works for us, rather than against us," said Wansink, who lives in Ithaca, N.Y., and is director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University.
