Summary:
Explores how psychology, neurology, and physiology influence
food
consumption and reveals techniques for improving one's
relationship
to
food
.
"An exploration pf the psychology of eating in today's unprecedented North American pantry of abundance, access, and excess. Neuroscientist Rachel Herz examines the sensory, psychological, neuroscientific, and physiological factors that influence
our
eating habits. Herz uncovers the fascinating and surprising facts that influence
food
consumption, such as
why
bringing reusable bags to the grocery store encourages us to buy more treats, how
our
beliefs can affect how many calories we burn,
why
TV influences how much we
eat
, and how
what
we see and hear changes how
food
tastes, and reveals useful techniques for improving
our
experience of
food
, such as how aromas can help curb cravings and tips on how to resist repeated trips to the buffet table.
Our
relationship
to
food
as a complicated recipe, whose ingredients - taste, personality, and emotions - combine to make eating a potent and pleasurable experience. Rachel Herz teaches at Brown University and Boston College. She is the author of The Scent of Desire and That's Disgusting"--Provided by publisher.
