In the 1760s,
Mathurin
Roze
opened a series of shops that boasted (
享有
) a special meat soup called
consommé.Although
the main attraction was the soup,
Roze’s
chain shops also set a new standard for dining out, which helped to establish
Roze
as the inventor of the modern restaurant.
Today, scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about
restaurants.Take
visual hints that influence what we eat: diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta (
意大利面食
) when their plates matched their
food.When
a dark-colored cake was served on a black plate rather than a white one, customers recognized it as sweeter and more tasty.
Lighting matters,
too.When
Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness, they couldn’t tell how much they’d had: those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else, but were
none
__
the
__
wiser
—they didn’t feel fuller, and they were just as ready for dessert.
Time is money, but that principle means different things for different types of
restaurants.Unlike
fast-food places, fine dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and
spend.One
way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round: put on some Mozart (
莫扎特
).When classical, rather than pop, music was playing, diners spent
more.Fast
music hurried diners
out.Particular
scents also have an effect: diners who got the scent of lavender (
薰衣草
) stayed longer and spent more than those who smelled lemon, or no scent.
大的
Meanwhile, things that you might expect to discourage spending—“bad” tables, crowding, high prices—don’t
necessarily.Diners
at bad tables—next to the kitchen door, say—spent nearly as much as others but soon
fled.It
can be concluded that restaurant keepers need not
“
be overly concerned
about
‘
bad
’ tables
”
,
given that they’re
profitable.As
for crowds, a Hong Kong study found that they increased a restaurant’s reputation, suggesting great food at fair
prices.And
doubling a buffet’s price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier.

If you want to disturb the car industry, you’d better have a few billion dollars: Mom-and-pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car
companies.But
in agriculture, small farmers can get the best of the major
players.By
connecting directly with customers, and by responding quickly to changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems (
生态系统
), small farmers can keep one step ahead of the big
guys.As
the co-founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC
,美国青年农会
) and a family farmer myself, I have a front-row seat to the innovations among small farmers that are transforming the industry.
For example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester, a tool developed just a couple of years ago by a young farmer, Jonathan
Dysinger
, in Tennessee, with a small loan from a local Slow Money
group.It
enables small-scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour—a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand—suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of
California.Before
the tool came out, small farmers couldn’t touch the price per pound offered by California
farms.But
now, with the combination of a better price point and a generally fresher product, they can stay in business.
The sustainable success of small farmers, though, won’t happen without fundamental changes to the
industry.One
crucial factor is secure access to
land.Competition
from investors, developers, and established large farmers makes owning one’s own land unattainable for many new
farmers.From
2004 to 2013, agricultural land values doubled, and they continue to rise in many regions.
Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers is a non-existent path to citizenship—the greatest barrier to building a farm of their
own.With
farmers over the age of 65 outnumbering (
多于
) farmers younger than 35 by six to one, and with two-thirds of the nation’s farmland in need of a new farmer, we must clear the path for talented people willing to grow the nation’s food.
There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable and fair farm economy, but farmers can’t clumsily put them together before
us.We
at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase farmland conservation, as we push for immigration reform, and as we seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next generation of farmers from all
backgrounds.With
a new farm bill to be debated in Congress, consumers must take a stand with young farmers.

Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of self
-
worth, a major study warned.
It found many youngsters (
少年
) now measure their status by how much public approval they get online, often through “
likes”
.
Some
change their
behaviour
in real life to improve their image on the web.
The report into youngsters aged from 8 to 12 was carried out by Children’s Commissioner (
专员
) Anne
Longfield.She
said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional risks, with some youngsters starting secondary school ill-equipped to cope with the tremendous pressure they faced online.
Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require users to be at least 13.The youngsters admitted planning trips around potential photo-opportunities and then messaging friends—and friends of friends—to demand “likes” for their online posts.
The report found that youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk if they did not respond to social media posts quickly, and around the clock.
Children aged 8 to 10 were “starting to feel happy” when others liked their
posts.However
, those in the 10 to 12 age group were “concerned with how many people like their posts”
,
suggesting a “need” for social recognition that gets stronger the older they become.
Miss
Longfield
warned that a generation of children risked growing up “worried about their appearance and image as a result of the unrealistic lifestyles they follow on platforms, and increasingly anxious about switching off due to the constant demands of social media”
.
She said: “Children are using social media with family and friends and to play games when they are in primary
school.But
what starts as fun usage of apps turns into tremendous pressure in real social media interaction at secondary school.”
As their world expanded, she said, children compared themselves to others online in a way that was
“
hugely damaging in terms of their self-identity, in terms of their confidence, but also in terms of their ability to develop themselves
”.
Miss
Longfield
added:
“
Then there is this push to connect—if you go offline
,
will you miss something, will you miss out
,
will you show that you don’t care about those people you are following, all of those come together in a huge way at once.
”
“For children it is very, very difficult to cope with emotionally.” The Children’s Commissioner for England’s study—
Life
in
Likes
—found that children as young as 8 were using social media platforms largely for play.
However, the research—involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8 to 12—suggested that as they headed toward their teens, they became increasingly anxious online.
By the time they started secondary school—at age 11—children were already far more aware of their image online and felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts were popular, the report found.
However, they still did not know how to cope with mean-spirited jokes, or the sense of incompetence they might feel if they compared themselves to celebrities (
名人
) or more brilliant friends
online.The
report said they also faced pressure to respond to messages at all hours of the day—especially at secondary school when more youngsters have mobile phones.
The Children’s Commissioner said schools and parents must now do more to prepare children for the emotional minefield (
雷区
) they faced
online.And
she said social media companies must also “take more
responsibility”
.
They
should either monitor their websites better so that children do not sign up too early, or they should adjust their websites to the needs of younger users.
Javed
Khan, of children’s charity
Barnardo’s
, said:
“
It’s vital that new compulsory age-appropriate relationship and sex education lessons in England should help equip children to deal with the growing demands of social media.
“
It’s also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using.
