This is a pretty intriguing article, describing how optical illusions affect our habits/behaviors regarding eating.
At the beginning, the author describes the Db effect. This effect, was first documented in 1865. It says that: if you have two identical dots, each surrounded by a circle (one smaller and the other bigger), you will feel as if the dot encompassed by the bigger circle was smaller than the dot encompassed by the smaller circle. This effect is an optical illusion.
Recently, the Journal of Consumer Research published a study led by two scientists. In this study, they investigated how Db effect influences people's eating behavior. They did two sets of experiments on volunteers: 1. control for the bowl size, and measure how the diet amount is affected by the amount of soup within the bowl. 2. control for the amount of soup within the bow, and measure how the diet amount is affected by the bowl size. The results showed that people tend to overeat with larger bowls or with higher amount of soup.
A lot of Americans overeat nowadays. To adapt a healthier eating behavior, scholars suggest that people take the following actions to make use of the optical illusions: a) Use smaller bowls b) Use taller bottles. This is based on another optical illusion called T-effect. This effect says that people tend to overestimate the amount of liquid in a taller bottle with smaller width, and vise versa. c) Use colors. Studies found that people associate red with sweet, like the flavor of red fruit. Therefore, scholars suggest adding red dye in food to trigger satisfactory, resulting in under-eat. d) Eat with men. This is based not on optical illusions, but on psychology.
