NEW YORK(Reuters Life!) - We've been overeating our way through ever-largerportions over the past 1,000 years, a U.S. study revealed afterstudying more than 50 paintings of the Biblical Last Supper.

Thestudy, by a Cornell University professor and his brother who is aPresbyterian minister and a religious studies professor, showed thatthe sizes of the portions and plates in the artworks, which werepainted over the past millennium, have gradually grown by between 23and 69 percent.
This findingsuggests that the phenomenon of serving bigger portions on biggerplates, which pushes people to overeat, has also occurred graduallyover the same time period, said Brian Wansink, director of the CornellFood and Brand Lab.
"The lastthousand years have witnessed dramatic increases in the production,availability, safety, abundance and affordability of food," Wansink,author of "Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think," said in astatement.
"We think that as art imitates life, these changes have been reflected in paintings of history's most famous dinner."
Theresearchers analyzed 52 paintings depicting the Last Supper which werefeatured in the 2000 book "Last Supper" by Phaidon Press, and usedcomputer-aided design technology to analyze the size of the main meals,or entrees, bread and the plates relative to the average size of thedisciples' heads.
The study foundthat, over the past 1,000 years, the size of the main meal hasprogressively grown 69 percent; plate size has increased 66 percent andbread size by about 23 percent.
Theresearch, conducted with Wansink's brother, Craig Wansink, a professorof religious studies at Virginia Wesleyan College, was published in theApril edition of The International Journal of Obesity.
(Writing by Miral Fahmy, Editing by Steve Addison) 这个....跟中国的某些"红学家"有得一拼.『大汗』 我发现：
图里的人都站立进餐吗？是的话，也是与现代进食晚餐的一个差别。
如果图里面的人是有座椅的，那他们的座椅看上去都在桌子的同一侧；当今的习惯是围坐桌子旁吃饭，所以这也是个差别。 这也是现代胖子多的一个原因？*-)
很多人心情不好的时候，就使劲吃，这也是现在人没有1000年前的人开心？烦恼太多？*-) 以前粮食产量低，所以没那么多食物供人们挥霍，这个道理很简单啊！『大汗』 CICI说得对呀，以2000多年前的生产能力，哪经得起现代人那样的海吃胡喝...所以不是他们不想把面包做大，实在是巧妇难为无米之炊！ 一幅画
