Eat to live or live to eat, it depends upon the individual. But, what I feel is eating environment is another thing that influences the quantity of Food that we eat. If we consider, eating in a space nearby the pleasant area makes us eat more than the place where it is unpleasant. Eating in a restaurant that costs cheaper would be more than eating in the restaurant that costs more. Let us consider eating lunch in an office. Eating in a plate would be easier than eating the food that is present in the lunch box or tiffen box. The Tiffen box, being smaller in the surface area will be fully packed and very tight.
This tightness in the tiffen box, makes the quantity to look more than the same quantity of food that is present in the plate. whereas, a plate that contains more surface area will make the quantity of food lesser. One of the reasons of Serving the food in the banana leaf during the wedding occasions might be due to the wide surface area of the banana leaf. Most of the people would eat more food when it is being served in banana leaf than the food that is served in plates. Of course, taste is differing from one place to other. But, I am making this comparison making the taste and hunger as constant.
The environment might include the cleanliness of the place where the food is being served. There might be some other factors like liking towards the food, the level of hunger and various other external factors. But, the major factor that makes the difference is the surface area where the food is present. The population density can be stated as an example for the above mentioned statement. Densely populated places have water problems than the Sparsely Populated places. Ofcourse, there may be rain and the water bodies are some factors that determine availability of water but keeping them constant, we can always say that sparsely populated places have better water facilites. Similarly, the surface area plays major role in the food consumption.
