Summary

This study watches 100 children ages 6-9 eat meals both at home and in a lab to see if their eating habits are the same in both places. Researchers want to understand how a child's home food environment may lead to overeating and weight gain. No treatment or medication is given—the goal is simply to learn more about childhood obesity.
