Food is life; it gives us the nourishment （营养）we need to stay alive and be healthy. Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy. Brian Wansink, a professor（教授）at the University of Illinois, says we also eat certain（某种）foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories. Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For others, a bowl of noodles makes them feel good.

       How does a food became comfort food? Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives, ‘When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it. Now, I often eat this soup when I am tired or worried, and it helps me feel better,’ says one of Wansink’s friends.

       Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink’s research（研究）at the University of Illinois says ‘yes’. In his study, the favourite comfort for both men and women was ice cream. After this, men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles. Women liked sweet things such as chocolate and candies. Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried.
