You might think what you eat and when are the only factors that play into the health of your diet. But recent research has shown that who you eat with can also play a role. And it could even make your food taste better!

In today’s short episode of ZOE Science & Nutrition, Jonathan and Sarah ask: Can eating with other people really improve your food?

Studies referenced in today’s episode:

  • Associations of family feeding and mealtime practices with children's overall diet quality, published in Appetite here
