Don’T Eat Me: the Interactive Effect of Anthropomorphic Food Characters and Gender on Food Consumption

Our research aims to explore the impact of anthropomorphism on consumption of the food. We find an interaction effect of gender with anthropomorphism where women eat less when presented with an anthropomorphic food character. This effect is not seen in men.
