Why did I eat that?

Does the size of a plate effect how much someone will eat? What kind of movie will people eat more popcorn while watching? Does the food you choose reveal something about you? With hundreds of decisions to make about food everyday, Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More than We Think by Brian Wansink is a fascinating account on the reasons behind our choices. He offers simple ideas about how to cut calories and lose ten to twenty pounds a year, but his book is more than a diet book. From helping children develop better diets to the truth about comfort foods, this information can help change destructive eating habits by understanding why we eat.
