    Food
    Fun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of this?

    People won't eat too much and will be able to be satisfied with the amount they ate. People tend to overeat when they find food they like, which isn't healthy for the human body.
