Tricking Appetite
In the near future, the effects of climate
change will take its toll on global food
production. If we envision a future with
greater food shortages, we must ask
ourselves how we can adjust our own
appetite and lifestyle in the present.
Within the current food culture, a meal
is often eaten too quickly, and thoughtlessly.
We tend to overeat and eat the amount
of food that is visually in front of us on
the plate. Our brain and sense of sight
together register the amount of food
we consume.
The Critical Design project TRICKING APPETITE, consisting of a number of prototypes of tableware and cutlery, creates awareness about the consumption volume. The aim is to influence eating behavior and eating culture. By adding inedible elements to the plate, changing the perception of quantity, and making it more difficult to eat, you will eat more carefully. The color blue causes a reduction in appetite, resulting in the appetite being tricked.
