Our weight tells how we judge food

A new study has found that normal-weight people tend to associate natural foods like apples with their sensory qualities such as sweetness or tenderness. On the other hand, processed foods such as pizza are generally associated with their function or the context in which they are eaten, such as parties or picnics. But that is not everything. The study also underlined the ways in which underweight people pay more attention to natural foods and overweight people to processed foods.
