Managing Portion Size
This Columbus Dispatch/AP article entitled "Trimming Super-Size with Half-Orders, Plate Colors" discusses the science behind portion sizes and how people eat. An experiment that is discussed in the article reveals that diners would order a half-portion of side dishes (such as rice) even if the cost was the same of a full portion of rice.
