TL;DR: The present article reviews the extant literature, exploring variants of and motivations for vegetarianism, differences in attitudes, values and worldviews between omnivores and vegetarians, as well as the pronounced gender differences in meat consumption and vegetarianism.

TL;DR: This study presents data from a representative survey of Dutch consumers on their practices related to meat, meat substitution and meat reduction and proposed four policy-relevant pathways for a transition towards a more plant-based diet.

TL;DR: Greater reported stress, both exposure and perception, was associated with indices of greater drive to eat-including feelings of disinhibited eating, binge eating, hunger, and more ineffective attempts to control eating.

TL;DR: It is suggested that mindfulness practice can be an effective way to reduce factors that are associated with problematic eating behaviour.

TL;DR: Factor structure was generally invariant across random selected groups, gender, and BMI, which indicates a high stability for the Eating Motivation Survey, and implications of the fifteen distinct motivations to choose foods in everyday life are discussed.

TL;DR: The eating behaviors food responsiveness, enjoyment of eating, satiety responsiveness, eating in the absence of hunger, reinforcing value of food, eating disinhibition and impulsivity/self-control are reviewed in relation to energy intake, body mass index and weight gain over time.

TL;DR: The current evidence suggests that administering few small tastes of vegetables that are initially not liked can have a lasting impact on preschool children's liking and intake of those vegetables.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that impulsivity and inhibitory control deficits are positively associated with several facets of unhealthy eating, including overeating in response to external food cues and in Response to negative emotional states, and making food choices based on taste preferences without consideration of health value.

TL;DR: The theory of planned behaviour proved able to predict and explain the behaviour of Czech organic consumers and the best predictors of the intention to purchase organic food are attitudes towards the behaviour and subjective norms.

TL;DR: It is concluded that bite size and oral-sensory exposure time could contribute to higher satiation within a meal for equal calories.

TL;DR: First evidence that distinct dimensions of food cravings are differentially related to success and failure in dieting is provided, and the German version of the FCQs has good psychometric properties.

TL;DR: Overall, stress was associated with emotional eating and a more unhealthy dietary pattern and could thus contribute to the development of overweight, also in children, and emotional eating behaviour was not observed to mediate the stress-diet relation.

TL;DR: There is a surprising degree of similarity in conceptions of natural across the six countries, with a focus of food (and beverages) as central to the idea of natural, and links to the ideas of biological, healthy, plants, and the environment.

TL;DR: fMRI of obese women during performance of a delay discounting task found that more difficult compared to easy DD trials resulted in activation in putative executive function areas of the brain, the middle and inferior frontal gyri, and medial prefrontal cortex, and less activation on difficult vs. easyDD trials predicted a greater rate of weight gain.

TL;DR: It was concluded that whilst increasing physical activity may attenuate weight gain, particularly high emotional eaters seem at risk for developing overweight, because overconsumption seems to be more strongly related to weight gain in people with high degrees of emotional eating.

TL;DR: Based on this research an enhanced hypothetical front-of-pack labelling scheme which combines both directive and non-directive elements is proposed.

TL;DR: Associations between food marketing exposure and adolescents' food choices and reported consumption of energy-dense and nutrient-poor (EDNP) foods are examined to suggest policy changes to restrict food marketing to young people should include both television and non-broadcast media.

TL;DR: The evidence is that capsaicinoids could play a beneficial role, as part of a weight management program, and that regular consumption significantly reduced abdominal adipose tissue levels and reduced appetite and energy intake.

TL;DR: Children's food choices in the home emerged as a process that involved three interacting components, the child, the parent, and the food, embedded within the context of time.

TL;DR: The results of this study imply that mere exposure and flavour-flavour learning are powerful strategies for changing children's acceptance of a novel vegetable, even though a substantial number of children are resistant to these types of exposure learning.

TL;DR: Cluster and conjoint analyses of responses from 292 participants reveal that specific packaging and produce attributes affect consumer purchase decisions of fresh produce in general and of sweet cherries in particular (P ≤ 0.05) and that some are population segment dependent.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates the utility of a social identity analysis of social influence in predicting eating behavior by observing a confederate who appeared to have eaten a large or small amount of popcorn.

TL;DR: It is concluded that it is possible to predict distress-induced food intake using self-reports of emotional eating provided that the participants have sufficiently extreme emotional eating scores.

TL;DR: The increase of fruit and vegetable consumption is a promising preliminary finding for those primarily interested in increasing fruit and vegetables consumption, however, those interested in theory development may have concerns about the use of this model to explain behaviour change in this context.

TL;DR: The most important factors reported are sensory appeal, purchase convenience, and health and natural content, and the least important are ethical concern and familiarity; the ranking of food choice motives across WBCs was strikingly similar.

TL;DR: The results confirm weight related inhibitory problems and might explain the increased overeating to food cues in overweight children, as reported in the literature.

TL;DR: For OB individuals, high-calorie food cues show sustained response in brain regions implicated in reward and addiction even after eating, suggesting that neural activity in response to food cues diminishes with reduced hunger for these individuals.

TL;DR: TPB constructs substantially explained the gender difference in fruit and vegetable intake and interventions targeted toward adult males may benefit by promoting favorable attitudes and perceived behavioral control over FVI.

TL;DR: From a policy perspective, nutrition awareness and education campaigns, combined with programs to support leisure time exercise especially for women, seem to be most promising to contain the obesity pandemic.

TL;DR: Parental restriction was a significant predictor of child adiposity while parental pressure to eat and parental restriction were associated with adiposity levels and SES was positively related to parental restriction and pressure to Eat.
