“…Recently, the effect of watching TV on sensory‐specific satiety, hunger/fullness and mood was examined in females who all ate one snack meal with TV and another without TV. All participants ate more during the session with TV . Besides, it has been reported that women ate more in a test session while watching a boring TV programme than in another session watching an engaging programme, maybe because of the cognitive demanding task involved .…”

“…Taste cells are present mainly on the surface of the tongue and palate , but are also detected in the oesophagus and epiglottis . The taste bud is formed by the union of several taste cells ( cells) . These cells contain taste receptors located on the apical region and can be from one of four morphological types: type I (dark), type II (light), type III (intermediate) and type IV (round – progenitor of other types) cells.…”

Eating is an essential activity to get energy and necessary nutrients for living. While chewing, the food is broken down by the teeth and dissolved by saliva. Taste, flavour and texture are perceived during chewing and will contribute to the appreciation of the food. The senses of taste and smell play an important role in selecting nutritive food instead of toxic substances. Also visual information of a food product is essential in the choice and the acceptance of food products, whereas auditory information obtained during the chewing of crispy products will provide information on whether a product is fresh or stale. Food perception does not just depend on one individual sense, but appears to be the result from multisensory integration of unimodal signals. Large differences in oral physiology parameters exist among individuals, which may lead to differences in food perception. Knowledge of the interplay between mastication and sensory experience for groups of individuals is important for the food industry to control quality and acceptability of their products. Environment factors during eating, like TV watching or electronic media use, may also play a role in food perception and the amount of food ingested. Distraction during eating a meal may lead to disregard about satiety and fullness feelings and thus to an increased risk of obesity. Genetic and social/cultural aspects seem to play an important role in taste sensitivity and food preference. Males generally show larger bite size, larger chewing power and a faster chewing rhythm than females. The size of swallowed particles seems to be larger for obese individuals, although there is no evidence until now of an 'obese chewing style'. Elderly people tend to have fewer teeth and consequently a less good masticatory performance, which may lead to lower intakes of raw food and dietary fibre. The influence of impaired mastication on food selection is still controversial, but it is likely that it may at least cause adaptation in food choice. Systemic conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer, with or without medicine use, tend to be associated with taste and chewing alterations. However, definite conclusions seem hard to reach, as research protocols vary largely.

“…Watching television during meals may lead to increased food consumption since television can affect several processes that regulate food intake [29]. Borghese et al [30] carried out a cross-sectional study of 550 children from Canada in 2013 and found that children who watched more than four hours of the television per day were more likely to develop obesity and consumed more food while watching television than normalweight children.…”

Objective: To understand maternal perceptions and experiences regarding the eating habits of obese children aged five to nine years. Methods: This is a qualitative research, and semi-structured interviews and discourse analysis were used to interpret narratives of 13 women from the city of Fortaleza, Ceará state, Brazil. Results: These women described the eating habits of their obese children in terms of how they eat and mentioned: eating fast, eating in front of the television, secret eating, eating large amounts of food, and the consumption of processed foods that are high in fat, sugars, and sodium. Conclusion: Seeing the mother and her obese child as a unit that needs support and guidance is a big step to plant the seeds to reap the rewards, i.e., exerting important impacts on the lives of these families and on the current scenario of childhood obesity.

“…We hypothesized that eating in the presence of media use would be associated with greater caloric intake at an eating occasion compared with eating without media use. Previous work in this area has been focused primarily on the overall amount of calories consumed , yet macronutrient characterization has been limited. We hypothesized that distracted eating would result in increased sugar and fat intake, as reported in previous studies .…”

“…Distracted eating has been associated with increased dietary intake in numerous studies, indicating that it may be a risk factor for overweight and obesity. Particular attention has been focused on the effects of media distractions, for example, watching television (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6), listening to music (7), using a smartphone (8), and playing computer games (6,9), while eating. The majority of studies have been in a laboratory-based environment (1)(2)(3)6,8), have examined the effects of media use on one meal (3,8), have used foods selected by the researchers (3,6,8), have relied on memory of media consumption (5), and/or have been focused on one type of media (2)(3)(4)(5)7).…”

Objective This study aimed to determine the effects of concurrent and prior media use on dietary intake and dietary compensation over 3 days in a free‐living population. Methods Participants recorded food intake and media use for a 3‐day period. The US Department of Agriculture multiple‐pass method was used to ensure completeness of food records. Energy, protein, fiber, carbohydrates, sugar, added sugar, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, and sodium intake were assessed. Results Meals consumed while participants used media included 149.3 more calories on average than meals consumed without media. Media meals were higher in protein, carbohydrates, fat, and saturated fat. There was no evidence of dietary compensation at the meal following the media meal. Conclusions Energy and macronutrient intake increased during media‐paired meals. Dietary compensation at the subsequent meal did not occur, suggesting that the effects of media‐paired meals are additive over the short term.
