PLEASE

EXPLAIN,

UNIT BIAS:

MELTING

MOMENT

The tendency of an

individual to think that

a portion of food equals

‘one’ of something (eg,

one cup, one plate)

no matter what the

size. The key to keeping

portion sizes a healthy

amount? Using smaller

plates and bowls,

says a study from the

University of Cambridge.

Makes sense, and since

mostofuseatwhat’s

placed in front of us,

you’ll soon get used

to having less.
