Do you eat Oreos from the middle first? Do you rub your chopsticks together before you eat fried rice? Recent studies conducted by a team of marketing experts found that rituals like these – or even something as simple as knocking on a table – could enhance the taste of chocolate, lemonade, or even simple carrots. What explains the power of ritual to up our enjoyment? Joy Cardin’s guest is a food psychologist who discusses that, and how rituals could also promote healthier, more mindful eating.
Guest: Susan Albers, a psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic Family Health Center. She specializes in eating issues, weight loss, body image concerns and mindfulness.
