Comfort food: It might make you fat, but at least you’ll be happy.
Or so says the professional journal Psychological Science. Researchers conducted experiments to determine whether comfort food could make people feel less lonely.
In one experiment, some participants wrote about a fight with someone close to them, while others completed an emotionally neutral writing assignment. Then, some people in each group wrote about eating comfort food, while others wrote about eating a new food. Lastly, everyone filled out a questionnaire to measure loneliness.
