Chips...

Once you pop open a stack of potato chips, it can sometimes be hard to stop until you suddenly realize you are scraping the bottom of the can. People tend to eat what you put in front of them. If you put less in front of them and give them a signal, they will take it. Here's another creative tactic for helping people eat smart: Study leaders gave participants stackable potato chips, some stacks containing the occasional red chip (designating the cut-off point of a serving size). Even though the meaning of the red chips was not explained, the subjects with the red chips ate 50 percent fewer chips than the control group AND were better able to guess how many chips they'd eaten. AMAZING! Keep the good ideas coming, food peeps!
