饮食习惯与性格Eating Habits and Personality

作者:stephen    文章来源:方向标英语网    点击数:    更新时间:2009-9-18 【我来说两句】

我们都知道饮食影响到我们的健康,现在很多人都在关注自己的饮食健康,可是大家知道饮食习惯和我们的性格有关吗?

下面我们来看一下Eating Habits and Personality



When it comes to eating habits, I’m definitely my father’s daughter. He taught me that mixing food together creates a sloppy mess that looks unappetizing, but tantalizes the taste buds in a thousand different ways. My mom, on the other hand, enjoys each side dish separately. She can’t fathom my love for mingling flavors any more than I understand her stringent “one flavor at a time” policy.

I never considered that our different eating habits could coincide with our different personalities. But according to Juliet A. Boghossian, behavioral food expert and founder of Food-ology, a belief that eating styles are related to character traits, we aren’t just what we eat—we’re how we eat, too.

Food-ology’s Origins

Boghossian developed the concept after noticing a connection between the way her dad ate and the way he acted. After studying non-verbal and verbal communication in school, she made her findings a science and used it to analyze people. “Our food habits are one of the most instinctual habits we have,” Boghossian explains. “It’s a universal need with no boundaries, regardless of economic or social status.” Because of this, she believes our food habits can reveal a great deal about ourselves. “You can fake a food habit … but eventually, the instincts will kick in,” she says, thus uncovering the “real” you.

The Most Common Eating Habits

After twenty years of studying the way people eat, there are a few traits Boghossian encounters more than others. Chances are most people fall under at least one of these categories.

Slow Eaters

Boghossian believes that those who dine slowly are wed to routines and are stubborn. They make a point of savoring their food, indicating that they make the most out of every experience. They’re also more likely to put themselves and their needs before anyone else’s. As she puts it, “they are the priority in their lives.”

Fast Eaters

Eating quickly shows a lack of balance when it comes to priorities. Those who finish food before everyone else tend to put other things before themselves. However, they’re also productive powerhouses and excel at finishing projects.

People Who Mix Foods

This type of person can take on a great deal of responsibilities efficiently, but might have trouble deciding what’s most important to accomplish. He or she can also have trouble concentrating on a particular task.

People Who Eat Foods One at a Time

“Task-oriented” and “methodical in approach” are the ways she describes people who eat this way. They’re less flexible when it comes to fitting into situations that deviate from what they’re used to.

Food Habits and Job Skills

Boghossian advises recruiters and hiring managers about what eating traits to look for depending on the job. “The goal of a recruiter is to know what skill sets are most cri
