The SciAm podcast turned me on to Dr. Brian Wansink's work, research into why and how we eat (watch the videos.)
His research shows that serving food at the table, family style, boosts overeating, while folks who fill their plates at the stove eat less.He has developed a bunch of products to aid in mindful mindless eating, www.mindlessproducts.com. Smaller sizes and nicer presentation.
I've reserved a copy of his book Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think from the library and will be listening to the abridge audio version as well.
