GMAT Sentence Correction (SC) | Re: Like a protein rich diet that the healthy genes need to prod

What does the participial modifier, “, eating more” modify? It is thumb rule that the adverbial modifier will modify the subject of the previous clause and its action. Here the previous clause is - they tend to cook less – Therefore fore they tend to cook less (at home) but instead gulp ready to eat pre-processed or fast foods
Here, lifestyle is not part of the previous clause; hence, eating cannot modify that.
