How much choice do we really have when it comes to food and drink?

Deciding how much to eat or drink isn’t always a rational process. How much is enough? Really, just think about Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Doesn’t matter how many plates you eat you’ll still feel hungry while you still see food on the table. There is an experiment that proves it.

There is an experiment in which a participant is invited to eat a bowl of, say, tomato soup. Unbeknownst to the participant, there’s a hidden tube connected to the bottom of the bowl that leads to a pump and vat of soup.

As the person eats and the level of soup slowly falls, additional soup is slowly pumped in so that the level in the bowl never falls below half.

The result? The average person eats 73% more soup than they would have otherwise. The reason is that visual cues trump the feeling in one’s stomach. If the bowl isn’t empty, then you must still be hungry.
