The study, published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics states if a person gets information about other people eating , then eating a big possibility of others that affect a person's style .
As quoted from CBSNews , the study examined 15 previous studies to be able to draw conclusions . Eight studies looked at how social norms change eat what other people eat . Medium seven other studies that look at the choices made eating environment influence what other people in the neighborhood to eat .
No wonder if some diets are widely reported on television then followed by many people . Or solicitation eating more vegetables initiated a celebrity through social media also crowded into the new diet trend .
The study states how much is eaten someone also affect portions of others nearby . If someone was told that other people eating large meals , also likely he will eat large portions .
Eating attitudes , according to the study , will continue to follow the trend . Even when people are eating not really see what other people eat . Or how big meal portions .
The researchers then believe , the reason why food choices can be so influenced by the people around is because of reasons that can be accepted in the community .
'' It seems that in a number of contexts , adjusting the common way of eating in a group to be a way to get closer to the identity of the group . This is consistent with social identity theory , '' said lead researcher Dr. Eric Robinson of the University of Liverpool .
Robinson added , additional studies are needed to see how one decides what and how much to eat. In the future , this information could help influence the human diet to a more healthy and in public policy-making related to health issues .
