Ironically given the topic, the very first sentence on the page ("The size of your plate can influence how much food you eat.") is based on observational research that has not replicated in controlled studies.

I have definitely noticed that I will eat more or less depending on the size of the plate. Maybe it only applies to people who were taught to clean their plate, dunno.

For me it would probably depend on if I dished myself. Also at a restaurant taking food to go is pretty normalized. Vs. At a dinner party you might feel like you should just eat the whole dish.

That’s not irony. Interesting, perhaps, but not ironic.

It's certainly ironic if an article about slop leads with a tired old glob of pseudoscience slop and the author doesn't realize.

I can't tell if your comment is being ironic or not.
