Podcast: Linnea A. Polgreen, PhD, and Aaron C. Miller, PhD, discuss a new study from the University of Iowa that shows levels of satisfaction derived from food differ among adults who were normal-weight, overweight, and obese and that individuals with obesity get more satisfaction from their food. This quantification of satisfaction from food may help explain why some people eat more than others. July 30, 2019 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jand.2019.05.018)
