Speedy eaters seen likelier to get fat

I just read an article called Speedy eaters seen likelier to get fat, and it was about how eating faster can cause you to be fatter. People who eat very rapidly have three times more of the chance to become overweight. The portions that people eat play a big role in obesity but they are discovering that also eating styles have a large effect on obesity. Some statistics given were that are 400 million people as obese, 200 million of them are under age five. The number of people that are obese under the age of five is outrageous. Also, about half of the men and a little more than half of the women said that they keep eating until they are full and 45 percent of the men and 36 percent of the women said they ate quite rapidly. The people that ate quickly and ate until they were full were more likely to become fat than the people that don't eat so quickly and don't eat until full. This article taught me new information that I was not aware of and was very surprised by the statistics given.
