Over the centuries, the Last Supper has just kept getting bigger:
Professor Brian Wansink, who, with his brother Craig, led the research, published in the International Journal of Obesity, said: “The last thousand years have witnessed dramatic increases in the production, availability, safety, abundance and affordability of food.
“We think that as art imitates life, these changes have been reflected in paintings of history’s most famous dinner.”
…
The main meals grew 69% and plate size 66% between the oldest (carried out in 1000AD) and most recent (1700s) paintings. Bread size grew by about 23%.
The sharpest increases were seen in paintings completed after 1500 and up to 1900AD.
That’s right. Jesus is making you fat.
