Eating food is an art and it is more important than how much food is necessary. Eating food with others is harmful as we usually over eat while doing these activities. New research has shown that a person consumes more food with friends and family. While eating 'socially' food, the person eats more food, while alone he eats many times less than that. We have found strong evidence that a person eats more food with family and friends than eating alone. The point to note is that those who ate with others ate up to 48 percent more food than those who ate alone, and obese women ate up to 29 percent more than those who ate alone socially. It is also important to see that 42 existing studies of research into community food were evaluated. A person consumes more food with friends and family, because eating with others increases the quantity of food which increases weight.
