The Mindless Eating Lab

The Mindless Eating Lab, led by Dr. Brian Wansink, studies how environment influences eating habits. It explores how factors like plate size, packaging, and settings can trigger automatic or subconscious eating behaviors, often leading to overeating without realizing it. The goal is to understand these cues to help people make healthier choices and develop strategies for better self-control around food, ultimately promoting better nutrition and weight management.
