Researchers Brian Wansink, Koert van Ittersum, and Collin Payne found that children will not only ask for more food to fill larger bowls - they'll also eat 52% more!To examine how bowl-size impacts the amount of food kids request, researchers served 69 preschoolers a familiar beloved breakfast - sugary cereal - in either small 8-oz bowls or large 16-oz bowls.
