The only sentence in the article* that quantifies the magnitude of a color dependent effect is:
And while red guests reported feeling hungry and thirsty, yellow guests ate twice as much.
This is a pattern in science journalism:
1) scientists show statistically significant effect (sometimes minuscule in magnitude)
2) science writers describe the sign of the result without magnitude, and get some 'experts' to pontificate
3) public worries/speculates/exclaims about some new factor to think about in daily life
Yadda yadda.
[edit:
*only sentence I saw after skimming

- joe_adk 18y agoIt worked! I worried/speculated/exclaimed, "I guess thats why McDs is all reds and yellows."
