很令人惊讶吗?这些数据都出自一位科学家的研究。他就是康奈尔大学食物与品牌实验室(Cornell University Food and Brand Lab)的主任布莱恩·万辛克(Brian Wansink)。他一直在探究各种环境因素究竟如何左右我们的进餐:比如看悲伤的电影会让你多吃28%-55%的东西[4],餐厅中柔和的灯光和萦绕在耳边的爵士乐却会让你吃得更少[5]。他深刻地理解到,“吃多少”这件事并不完全由吃的人说了算——进食的环境有着非凡的影响力,虽然我们之前很可能并没有意识到。
得益于对美食和工作的热爱,万辛克精力充沛,既是工作狂,又是大胃王。万辛克的第一本关于食物心理学的畅销书《瞎吃》(mindless eating)成了不少人关注饮食习惯的启蒙,而在他的新书《苗条源于设计》(Slim by design)出版之际,果壳网科学人特约万辛克曾经的研究助理龚雪(Summer Gong)对他进行了专访。
