Does eating when watching videos affect our diets?

A spoonful of pickles (榨菜) can sometimes make a meal taste better. These days, a new type of pickle     1    (discuss): “digital pickled vegetables”. It refers     2    the videos people watch when eating that make their food more appetizing.

The topic received more than 16 million clicks on Sina Weibo and about 100,000 people participated in the discussion. Instead of     3    (accompany) by friends and family during a meal, many young people in China are kept company by TV shows or short videos. Many believe that their food is     4    (tasty) with the “digital pickles”.

According to a research paper published in 2019, this habit     5    affect your diet and you will eat more unconsciously. The international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating patterns on four different days. The patterns included eating while looking at the mobile phone, reading magazines and without distraction. After analyzing their diets, the team discovered that eating with a distraction increased caloric ingestion (卡路里摄入) by about 15 percent.

    6    (explore) the reason, the team also invited two groups of people: one group ate when listening to an audio clip (音频) about another person eating,     7     the other listened to a clip that helped them imagine themselves eating. The results showed that the second group ate less since they were more focused on their meals. When eating with the “digital pickles”, our attention can be distracted, which leads to eating more than expected.

This works not only for eating meals but other demanding tasks as well. A research project     8    (lead) by the University of Sussex, UK, pointed out that activities     9    lots of attention is required trick many participants into overeating. The team invited 120 participants to do various tasks while providing them with drinks and snacks. “Our study suggests that if you’re eating or drinking while your attention is distracted by a highly engaging task, you’re less likely to be able to tell     10    full you feel,” one of the authors Martin Yeomans explained.

【推荐2】What roles do your parents play in your family?     1     But in modern families, mothers have their own careers, and fathers also help out when it comes to doing household chores and taking care of the kids.

This is probably why recently, the slogan “Loved by kids, approved by mums” on a brand of cereal (麦片粥) from US company Kellogg’s led to a heated discussion online. Some US campaign groups complained that the slogan was biased (歧视) against stay-at-home men.     2    

Indeed, the roles of men and women have changed over time. As the number of dual-income households increases, more and more men have changed their views on their roles in families, accounting for a more equal distribution of labor between mothers and fathers. And many choose to be stay-at-home dads.     3    They have to struggle with career and childcare, but also face doubts over whether they’re doing enough. “    4    You’re also measured by how much time you’re able to spend with your kids and how much you’re able to do with your family.” Matt Schneider, co-founder of a US-based network serving for stay-at-home dads, told CBS News.

However, there is no need for stay-at-home fathers to feel cast down.     5    There are always special moments that make it worthwhile for them. “When my son crawls towards me, hugs me and says ‘I love you’, I wonder if he knows what that means.” a stay-at-home dad called Scott Durkin told ABC News. “But you get all … warm inside.”

A.Their hard work is bound to pay off.
B.However, the biggest problem has come.
C.It’s not just about being a paycheck (薪水) father anymore.
D.Before being a father, you are mainly measured by your work.
E.In the past, women were more likely than men to look after family members.
F.Staying at home can hardly help them form a close relationship with their kids.
G.They even charged the company with what they described as “cereal discrimination(歧视)”.
