According to the NYT, a recent study showed that when junk food makers put their products in smaller packages, we are just inclined to eat more of it.
I guess you might as well just get the big bag.In one experiment, students were primed to think about their body shape, then were given potato chips and left to watch television. They ate nearly twice as many chips when given nine small bags as when given two large ones. They also hesitated less before opening the small bags.
