What causes consumption? Hunger is one thing, but a more important driver of eating comes down to \"\"two factors:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Proximity<\/li>\n
  2. Visibility<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As #sad as it seems, research into the psychology of eating shows that if we see food — and we can reach it — it is more likely to find its way into our mouth.\u00a0\u00a0This is bad for the winter because we’re just inside more of the time.<\/p>\n

    So. More than ever, it’s important not to just leave bowls of nibbles around, or other foods out in baskets (or whatever). I’m from the South, so I know this is a gracious thing to do but … the drivers of consumption include seeing it, and being able to reach it.<\/p>\n
