Color Control...

OK - so when you have a weakness for vanilla ice cream - scoop it into a brightly colored bowl.  A study from the Journal of Consumer Research found that if your food and dishes have a high color contrast, you will serve yourself less!  People in this study piled 22 percent less pasta with tomato sauce onto white plates verses red ones.  High color contrast may make it easier to notice how much food you are dishing out, so when your meal and table setting blend, pay attention to portion size!
