The Toledo Free Press is running a story online today about
Emotional Eating. Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand lab at the University of Illinois, is quoted listing the usual reasons why we turn to comfort food, but has further:
broken down the types of comfort foods used based on sex and different moods. The No. 1 comfort food, to no one's surprise, is ice cream. After ice cream, women prefer chocolate and cookies and men prefer pizza, steak and casserole. Sad people prefer ice cream and cookies 40 percent of the time and bored people prefer potato chips 36 percent of the time.
The only thing I'd add to the men's list is just about any cold cereal, perhaps a quirk only my brothers and I share.
