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.
