Does Fast Eating Make Us Fat?

Catherine Rampel has put together a fascinating chart comparing the time people from different countries spend each day eating and the rate of obesity or percent of people with a Body Mass Index over 30. The correlation is hardly definitive, but it’s a helpful reminder of how messed up our American food life has become. Maybe we need to slow down and savor our food more. Check out Slow Food Spokane River for a group in Spokane that is advocating for that very thing.
