Stress Eating

http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200311/stress-and-eating

We have all heard that people tend to eat more when stressed (emotional eating), but this article offers a detailed account of why this is.

Thoughts: Might want to consider the mood of a dining hall (loud music? too hot? too cold? time of day?) when observing what and how much food college students eat. Can the mood or environment of the dining hall be changed to be more relaxing, and less fast paced? Offer food that is naturally proven to relieve stress?
