STUDY: Your Co-worker’s Lunch Choice Might Decide How Healthy You Eat

If you want to start eating healthier at work, you might not have to get yourself to commit but your whole team. New research has found the thing that influences us the most for lunch isn’t ads or Instagram, it’s what our coworkers are eating down the hall.

Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital studied what folks were eating in their cafeteria and found people’s food choices follow what other people in their social circle are eating. According toDr. Douglas Levythis, “may explain one-way obesity spreads through social networks.” But the effect isn’t just for junk food but for healthy food as well. In fact, the study found the influencer effect was actually stronger for healthy foods.

While you’re trying to think back on your last few lunches to see if they line up with your work besties,here’s why social circles eat the same stuff.Peer pressure. But it’s not like colleagues are telling each other they’ll stop being friends with someone if they start eating kale.Sure there are some that are...but for the most part, it’s people changing their behavior on their own in an effort to fit in.
