Chris: Thanks for posting the link to the article about the Wansink lab. I used several of his early articles in classes to illustrate “mindless eating” (e.g., his popcorn studies where the amount consumed increased when the same volume of popcorn was presented in a larger container).
But recently I noticed that reports from that lab seemed to be ridiculous, i.e., Wansink et al. (2014, Eating Behaviors) where the report stated when children ate on-the-bone chicken, they exhibited more aggressive behavior than pre-cut, boneless chicken. Also I note that I have replications coming out and that they are not statistically under-powered. Typically, I am using 5-10x the original sample size and G*Power calculations typically put me at 95-99% for the reported effect size.
