A new study has shown how the color of a bowl can influence the taste of the food it holds.
Although it is hard to say what a picky eater (挑食的人) is like, the type may include people who have a limited diet, who have strong likes or dislikes for certain food, who require food to be prepared in a special way, who aren't willing to accept new food, or who show signs of all these features.
According to this new study, food was put into two groups in red, blue, or white bowls. While the color made no difference in taste for non-picky eaters, the picky. eaters reported changes in their taste senses-based-on-the color of the bowl being used. Snacks in red and blue bowls were thought to have more salt than those in white bowls, while snacks in red bowls were less pleasant than those in the other bowls.
"This knowledge can be useful for those who want to try more kinds of foods," says Lorenzo Stafford, a psychologist from the University of Portsmouth in the UK. "For example, if you want to encourage a picky eater to try some bitter (苦的) vegetables, you can try to put them on a pink plate or in a yellow bowl, because this can give him or her a sweet feeling."
At first it may seem strange that a bowl color can influence the taste-of food, but the research before has shown how light and music can influence eating habits. All of our senses are connected, including taste.
"This new study can help in treating food neophobia--the unwillingness to try new food, "the team of the study says, and further studies will be required to find out more relationships between colors and foods.
"Through further studies, maybe we can decide ways to help actively influence a person's diet, and as a result, their health in mind and body." says Stafford.
