An article distributed by Health Day News reports normal-weight and obese women respond to high-energy, high-density snacks differently and quotes Jennifer Temple, assistant professor of exercise and nutrition science, who conducted a study that found that "food reinforcement," the term researchers used to describe motivation to eat, decreased in non-obese women who were asked to consume their favorite snack for days at a time. The article appeared in news outlets throughout the nation, including the Atlanta Journal Constitution and Yahoo! Health.
