Description
Nawal Alissa and Maha Alhussain survey Saudi adults about mukbang videos, the online shows where hosts eat large amounts of food while chatting with viewers. Their 2025 study asks how often adults watch and whether viewing ties to eating habits. An online survey drew 160 replies, and seventy people who had watched in the past month formed the analysis group.
Viewing frequency showed no clear link with emotional, external, or restrained eating. Education did track with habits: adults with more schooling reported watching less often. The authors urge care in reading that link, since media awareness was not measured. Nutrition researchers get a first local snapshot of a global trend, plus a call for deeper work on culture and mindset.
