New Research may cause backlash….Maybe

There is this article:

I haven’t been able to get my hands on the actual study, but just by this news article the research is flawed, or so small that general inferences cannot be made. If I am going to believe their conclusion (I hold healthy scientific skepticism) that men and women eat more when women are present and do so for different reasons ( the reasons given are heavily based in stereotypes). The overarching sound bite that I see coming out of this article is  “Women make you Fat!”.  I hope I am wrong but I can see this spiraling out of control.
What do you think?
