More than 5,000 food choices were observed at nine eating sites--four where meals were served and five where snacks were served. Caloric content of food choice was strongly affected by eating site and there was great variability in the amount chosen at each site. Men chose somewhat more food than women. Body weight had no overall effect on food choice, although obese people chose somewhat more food than nonobese people at one site--that serving food with the highest caloric content. These findings are consistent with the six earlier studies of food choice, which concluded that the major influence on how much people choose to eat is where they eat, and that there is great variability in the amount they choose at any one site. The presence of obesity is not a major determinant of food choice in public places.
在九个就餐地点观察到了5000多种食物选择，其中四个提供正餐，五个提供小吃。食物选择的热量含量受就餐地点的影响很大，每个地点所选择的食物量差异很大。男性选择的食物比女性略多。体重对食物选择没有总体影响，尽管在一个提供热量最高食物的地点，肥胖者选择的食物比非肥胖者略多。这些发现与之前六项关于食物选择的研究一致，这些研究得出结论，人们选择吃多少的主要影响因素是他们在哪里吃，而且在任何一个地点他们选择的量都有很大差异。肥胖的存在并不是公共场所食物选择的主要决定因素。
