 * If We Leave the Plenty Food On the Table, Do People Eat More?**

This lab seeks to find out if poeple would eat more after their normal portion,if they see plenty of food on the table after they ate in extra hour. In this case, i choose to stay at the dinner table an hour longer to see if people would keep eating or stop eating when there is plenty food on the table. (I observed 5 female) Before you start your lab you need to find out how much first portion makes them full and set the 5 different amount of food as their standard. Following result is, everyone eat more after the first portion that made them full. __Purpose:__ To see if people would eat more than thier normal portion of food, if they have enough time and plenty food that is on the table. __Hypothesis:__ My hypothesis is people will eat more after they already ate their normal portion, if they know there is plenty food and plenty time to eat. __Research:__ http://www.dailyspark.com/blog.asp?post=can_people_really_be_addicted_to_food From this cite, i learned that people overeat, because of addiction. There is no reason with overeating, emotional eating, or obesity are struggling with a "food addiction." Nor does having the "addiction gene" __Variable:__independent =people dependent=portions of food that people take __Material:__ plenty food that would feed everyone more than three times of their normal portions.(two huge serving bowl of pasta.), and serving spoon.

My subject to have lab on were only 5 female. I picked all female, because it helps to set the similar starting point. Based on my very limited study (because i only have done once.), i have learned people do eat more, if we leave the plenty food on the table. As what my result said, all women ate at least 2 more portions.
