Starting on Switch

Switch is about effecting change. Green Mile has a sad ending but the book ties up all ends nicely. Moving to my next audio book, I decided on non-fiction. I just started and will write more about changing behaviours. The book start with a psychological experiment for movie goers. Movie goers in this experiment were given stale, yes! stale popcorns that tasted horrible, like expanded polystyrene used in packaging. Researchers found the movie goers ate more when they were given bigger portion before going to the movie. It does not matter really that all movie goers claimed to be aware and have self-control. If we have bigger portion with us, we just simply eat more even if what we are given are poor tasting, stale food.
