Food portion control experiment in dieting and weight loss - BBC

[Yeaahright]

What! It's human nature, we're designed like that, if there's food we'll eat it. It's how human race survived.

Thus confirming my point that small is more expensive, otherwise the large wouldn't be considered "better value"

[pidgeli]

Small popcorn is more expensive, that's why people order medium or large!

[senseless143]

No it's not. We're just convinced that we should get 'more for better value' - i.e add 50cent for bigger size, ect.

[syke5618]

watching tv or listening to music is also a huge factor in how much and how fast you eat...

[asteroceras]

That may be true, but it is completely irrelevent.

[GakkiSai]

How can you tell the popcorn's stale?

[scyther63]

People and pigs - not so different.

[mikji]

that's a logical conclusion; i've just recently seen a study that shows pigs eat up to 53% more depending on the size of their troughs.

fascinating...

True fact: Canibals refer to human as "long pork" because we apparently taste similar to our porsine friends thanks to an omnivorous diet.
