The Psychology of Food
Publication Date: 01/10/2014
For many people, food is no longer something to 'enjoy' as the stuff that nurtures us, keeps us healthy. It's something to 'control', 'do battle with', all in a warped quest to 'be thin' and live up to society's photoshopped ideals. Plus there's the obesity epidemic where we've trained our tastebuds to crave the fat, salt and sugar that so much junk food is saturated with. By examining the psychological factors that encourage us to eat more than we know we should, as well as the tricks used by marketers to influence what and how much we eat, 'Change the Way You Eat' provides the tools for readers to take ownership of their eating choices so that lifelong change can take place.
