It shows the more a person has on their plate, the more they will eat,
even if they are full early in the meal. In this study, small servings
made people satisfied but when they were given larger servings, they
just kept on eating. Jumbo servings, they still clean their plates.
Researchers say we like to feel like we are getting our monies worth
when it comes to eating and restaurants are more than happy to comply.
To get our business, serving sizes are bigger than ever before and so
are our waistlines.

how many mammograms is the radiologists reading every day. You might
