...message out, Wansink conducts some of his lab studies in unscientific, attention-grabbing ways that many of his academic peers find showboaty. Some dismiss his work as "Happy Meal studies." Wansink counters that his approach hits people where they live--and eat. "Once you're in a bar giving people chicken wings, people say, 'Oh, I can relate to that,'" he says, referring to an experiment in which he showed that subjects watching the Super Bowl at a bar ate 28% more chicken wings when the waitresses cleared the bones from the table than when the bones piled up. "That...
...Apparently, I'll eat more M&Ms if they're in 10 colors rather than seven because I'll crave the variety. And unless I'm a real foodie, or French, flowers at my table will make me eat more, even though they clash with the smells of my meal, making it less appealing.

The Square would be a prime chow ground if only it weren’t so nauseatingly expensive, which is why FM is proud to bring you four of the best (and cheapest!) establishments to get a good Square meal. Charlie’s Kitchen (10 Eliot Street) Going to Charlie’s is like going home for dinner—just as much food and almost as cheap, with the signature double-cheeseburger plate checking in at a disproportionate $4.95. The lobster is the real deal here...
...salt, and pepper and heated it in the microwave. Coriander and lime slices served as garnish. Unfortunately, due to freezing, the texture of the kangaroo meat was stringy. Still, its mysterious gaminess shone through and the dish ended up a hit with my roommates. I ebulliently polished off the meal with a scorpion lollipop and vowed to sample Savenor’s venison tenderloin next week. Why settle for the mundane—think carnitas quesadilla—when such exotic cuisine can be simply prepared within the confines of your dorm room...
