Document Summary
Low restraint object: people who cannot handle waiting (cid:61607) People who are high restraint have led a different life they have higher sat scores and more efficient working memory. They are also less likely to engage in drug use, have a healthier bmi, and are less likely to get divorced. In the past, humans had to deal with a lot of famine and hunger. Significant event in human history: agriculture humans were able to cultivate crops. These are very energy-rich nutrients and so it was adaptive to want them. Study on rats: (cid:61607) when rats were offered healthy food, they ate a bit of it until they were full and stopped. When offered unhealthy food that they would normally not have access to, they would not stop eating and became obese, even to the point where they would try to get it even if there were negative consequences. The flavor is very satisfying but is very short-lived.
