As humans eat a variety of foods (compared to generalist species that eat a limited variety of foods), every day we make choices regarding what and how much to eat. In addition to our individual taste preferences and goals, we also are influenced by other people in our food choices. In this talk, I will discuss existing theoretical frameworks and research from my lab that examines social influences on eating behavior.
