Mindless Eating

“Mindful Eating” is becoming a popular subject these days, what with mindfulness practice diffusing into western culture and with westerners (and especially Americans) becoming increasingly overweight. A new book, “Mindless Eating,” explores the flip-side of mindful eating — why and how we eat without awareness even of how much we’re consuming.

The book hasn’t yet been published, but there was a fascinating article in the New York Times the other day — Seduced by Snacks? No, Not You (the NYT requires free registration) — about the author, Brian Wansink, Ph.D., and his work. Judging by the article the book will be a good read.
