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.
