How many think this doesn't have a snowballs chance in Belize?

LOL Well let's see... if I want to think my food is larger, couldn't I just use a regular magnifying glass...??

Or maybe just not worry about the size of a cookie if it's an S Day?

I think the amazing thing is the Japanese people don't seem to need this. They just have a saying: Eat until you're 80% full.

But I guess there's money to be made from the chunky Western hemisphere and not just the north. I visited Peru several years ago and it was shocking to me that in a country with a 50% poverty level there were as many obese and yes, morbidly obese people as there were. Huge portions in restaurants. And many commercial diet plans being offered on billboards, TV-type ads on city-to-city buses (before the movies they often showed: lots of overnight business travelers).

You are right, and when you are not eating you can burn ants with the magnifying glass.

I was just thinking, if I ate styrofoam peanuts from UPS I would feel fuller as well?

All I could think was if the cookie looks big, but is really small... wouldn't I end up biting my fingers?

About as much chance as figure skating becoming an Olympic event in hell.
