Cornell to Washington:
How Mindless Eating Works in Government
By Brian Wansink
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.
Nicknamed the "Sherlock Holmes of Food," Brian Wansink is an expert in nutritional science, behavior and food psychology. His research focuses on the issue of how the immediate world around us influences our everyday eating habits. He is also a national bestselling author and recent executive director of the USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion.
Join him for an informal conversation at the Science Café at 3:30. Wansink will also be speaking at 7pm on April 2 at the Performing Arts Center, on "Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think." The evening will include a question and answer session and a book signing following the presentation.
