Downsize your plates and serving utensils.
That's what some cafeterias and restaurants do to help cut consumption. People see plates as a 'unit' of food, so when food services want people to eat less, they give them seven-inch plates instead of nine-inch plates. Same goes for serving utensils. In an ongoing study, researchers have replaced the large scooper at a university's cafeteria ice cream vat with a smaller one. Result? Lowered consumption.
