That is countered by the rest of my post, though? Having had some pets that I can leave open buckets of food out for them, and they don't gain weight, something else is clearly at play.
I'm open to the idea that, statistically, more people will eat more when given more. I'm... less open to the idea that we can't learn from looking at those that don't eat in excess in those situations.
- brandonmenc 3y ago> pets I mean, people are not pets. I've seen plenty of pets become obese when food is unlimited. You're probably affecting the "experiment" without realizing it.
- taeric 3y agoYou are just repeating my first post, though? I have seen plenty of pets that do both. I've had both at the same time. Kind of obnoxious when you have one animal that you have to feed separate from others, otherwise it doesn't get any food. Super convenient when that is your only animal, as you can just make sure the bucket is there with food. The question is literally if we can find a difference between the two animals we are talking about. And that difference may be something that is addressable not at the animal level, but at the food supply level. Maybe not, of course. But a perfectly fine question to consider.
