In this issue, Kong and colleagues (1) demonstrate that providing infants access to a music education program resulted in greater motivation to work for access to music as opposed to food. The results suggest novel obesity interventions that involve promoting the cultivation of children’s interests in activities that can serve as alternatives to food.Boredom–the aversive experience of wanting, but being unable, to engage in stimulating and satisfying activity (2)–is reported by obese individuals to be one of the greatest contributors to excessive weight gain. The literature linking boredom and eating dates back to the 1950’s, but little progress has been made in understanding these associations. The construct of bored eating is often combined with the construct of emotional eating, which may not be valid. Future research should investigate boredom and its amelioration in relation to obesity risk.
