The growing size reflects the success of agriculture over the ages, the researchers said.
研究人員稱,食物和餐盤尺寸的增長反映出這么多年來農(nóng)業(yè)產(chǎn)量的增加。
"The last thousand years have witnessed dramatic increases in the production, availability, safety, abundance and affordability of food," said Brian Wansink, a professor of marketing and applied economics at Cornell University.
康奈爾大學(xué)營銷和應(yīng)用經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)教授布賴恩·萬辛克說:“在過去一千年間,食物的生產(chǎn)、可用性、安全性、豐富程度以及可購性都大幅提高。”
"We think that as art imitates life, these changes have been reflected in paintings of history's most famous dinner."
“我們認(rèn)為,由于藝術(shù)描繪的是現(xiàn)實生活,所以這些變化也反映在這一史上最著名的晚餐的畫作之中。”
