Mindless Eating

Why do you eat what you eat? You may think the decisions you make about what food you put in your mouth is entirely yours but Brian Wansink says you’re wrong and he can prove it. Host Charity Nebbe talks with Wansink, a professor and director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University about eating habits. His research reveals how people’s diets can be influenced everyday on a variety of factors and how to use that information to eat less.

Charity Nebbe is the host of IPR's Talk of Iowa
