The Science of Food Decisions

Research in behavioral psychology shows that having too many choices can lead to decision paralysis and reduced satisfaction with our final choice. This is known as the "paradox of choice." By introducing randomness, we can:

• Reduce cognitive load associated with decision-making
• Overcome analysis paralysis that comes with too many options
• Increase satisfaction by reducing second-guessing
• Add an element of surprise and adventure to routine decisions
