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(zhǎng)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(yíng)銷和應(yīng)用經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)教授布賴恩·萬(wàn)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(gòu)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(shí)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。”
