A monkey that has acquired the sole
power to hand out apples is generously rewarded
with grooming sessions by the other monkeys in
its group. However, as soon as another monkey
can hand out apples as well, the market value of
the first monkey is halved. The monkeys
therefore unerringly obey the law of supply and
demand. In the experiment researchers placed
food containers with highly-desired pieces of
apple in two groups of South African vervet
monkeys. For the monkeys there was just one
problem: only one in each group could open the
food container. This monkey had a low position in
the rank order and was therefore scarcely
groomed. However, as soon as she acquired the
power to hand out apples she was valued more
and was groomed a lot by the rest of the group.
Yet she could only enjoy that privilege briefly; the
researchers placed a second food container that
could be opened by another low-ranking female.
From that moment onwards the market value of
the first monkey was halved, and she was
therefore groomed half as often.
The experiments revealed that the female
monkeys that could open the food containers
were groomed more than when they exerted no
power over the food production. The females
concerned also did not have to groom the other
monkeys as long. They were therefore paid for

_______.

(B) Why Monkeys Groom

their services as food suppliers. Biological market
theory predicts that the market value of these
female monkeys should vary according to the law
of supply and demand. The fact that the grooming
time of the first monkey was halved as soon as
the second monkey gained the power to
distribute apples, confirms this idea; the price of
goods - in this case the female monkeys who
could open the containers – was instantaneously
adjusted to the market. Immediately after the
opening of the food containers, the researchers
registered how long the females were groomed
for. The next occasion on which the females could
open a container was, however, several days
later. The fact that the females were still groomed
more indicates that the vervet monkeys apply a
strategy that works in the long term. The choice
of partners is also influenced by long-term
attitudes; the monkeys can value one monkey
relatively more than the others.
A change in price 􀀀 grooming for less long
if there is another monkey that supplies apples -
is only possible if a negotiation process takes
place. Many economists assume that such
negotiations can only take place if they are
concluded with a contract. However, the vervet
monkeys do not have the possibility to conclude
such binding contracts and yet they still succeed
in agreeing to a change in price for a service

Healty eating is not about strict dietary
limitations, staying unrealistically thin, or
depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it
is abaout feeling great, having more energy,
improving your outlook, and stabilizing your
mood. If you feel overwhelmed by all the
conflicting nutrition and diet advice out there,
you are not alone. It seems that for energy expert
who tells you a certain food is good for you, you
will find another saying exactly the opposite. But
the using these simple tips, you can out through
the confusion and learn how to create a tasty,
varied, and healthy diet that is as good for your
mind as it is for your body.
We all know that eating right can help
maintain a healthy weight and avoid certain
health problem, but your diet can also have
profoundeffect on your mood and sense of well
being. Studies have linked eating a typical
western diet – filled with processed meats,
packaged meals, takeout food, sugary snacks –
with higher rates of depression, stress, bipolar
disorder, and anxiety. Eating unhealthy diet may
even play a role in the development of ental
health disorder such as ADHD, Alzeimer’s disease,
and chizophrenia, or in the increased risk of
suicide in young people.
Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables,
cooking meals at hone, and reducing your in take
of sugar and refine carbohydrates, on the other
hand, may help to improve mood and lower your
risk for mental health problems. If you have
already been diagnosed with a mental health
problem, eating well can even help to manage
your symptoms and regain control of your life.

been shown to have a beneficial effect on mood, it
is your overall dietary pattern that is most
important. That means switching to healthy diet
does not have to be an all or nothing proposition.
You do not have to be perfect, and you do not
have completely eliminate foods you enjoy to
have healthy diet and make a difference to the
way you think and feel.
