Grocery Store Tricks

June 27, 2007

I was recently interviewed for a story on “10 things your grocery store doesn’t want you to know” (see it at msn health and fitness). The writer had some fun with What to Eat and honed in on the take home lessons and then some. She also quotes Brian Wansink, whose book, Mindless Eating, is one I assign to students to explain how something as simple as a large plate encourages people to eat more calories. Enjoy!

  1. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My boyfriend had professor Wansink at Wharton. Fascinating and brilliant man.

    I wonder…have you read The China Study? Any thoughts about it? I found it to be life changing.
