Summary

"Food psychologist Brian Wansink shows why you may not realize how much you're eating, what you're eating--or why you're even eating at all ... He explains the hidden cues that determine how much and why people eat and takes us on a tour of the secret dynamics behind our dietary habits ... This book will change the way you look at food, and it will give you the facts you need to easily make smarter, healthier, more mindful and enjoyable choices at the dinner table, in the supermarket, in restaurants, at the office, even at the vending machine--wherever you decide to satisfy your appetite"--Publisher description.
