After moving to the United States,immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high calorie fattyfoods in an attempt to appear more American,a new study finds.That's one reason why immigrants approach US levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.
The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices.After being questioned about their ability to speak English,75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite.Only 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same.
When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study,Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes,such as hamburgers and cheese sandwiches.In that experiment,55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian orAmerican restaurant.Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study.
Those who chose the more typical Americanfareended up consuming an extra 182 calories,including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams ofsaturated fat(饱和脂肪).
