Ironically given the topic, the very first sentence on the page ("The size of your plate can influence how much food you eat.") is based on observational research that has not replicated in controlled studies.

- e40 9mo agoI have definitely noticed that I will eat more or less depending on the size of the plate. Maybe it only applies to people who were taught to clean their plate, dunno.
- NewJazz 9mo agoFor me it would probably depend on if I dished myself. Also at a restaurant taking food to go is pretty normalized. Vs. At a dinner party you might feel like you should just eat the whole dish.

- nerdponx 9mo agoIt's certainly ironic if an article about slop leads with a tired old glob of pseudoscience slop and the author doesn't realize.
- NewJazz 9mo agoI can't tell if your comment is being ironic or not.
- throwuxiytayq 9mo agoIronically enough, the comment is pretty straightforward to interpret.
- rendaw 9mo agoWell played... 4k words
- NewJazz 9mo agoSorry did that scroll past your little context window?
- tmtvl 9mo agoIsn't it dramatic irony when we, the audience, know that the first sentence is counterproductive to the point being made by the author while the author isn't aware? Maybe it depends on how meta you want to be about considering the author of the article a character.
- PunchyHamster 9mo agoWe now need research of obesity vs whose mom/grandma told them to finish their plate often.
- soco 9mo agoWhen I think of fancy restaurants I always see huge plates with a dash of food smeared somewhere. Very easy to finish it all. Now you could say they compensate by offering a 12-course menu but that's not about plate sizes anymore.
