Nila's younger brother does not like the meatloaf their mother made for dinner

A) Nila will eat her normal amount and then stop when she feels full.
B) Nila will eat less than she normally would.
C) Nila will eat more than she normally would.
D) Nila will develop a dislike for meatloaf.
Answer: C
Rationale: In experiments with "bottomless bowls" of soup, individuals stopped eating after consuming, on average, over 70% more than those participants who knowingly refilled their bowls. Furthermore individuals eating from bottomless bowls did not feel any more satiated, nor did they believe they had eaten any more than the individuals in the control group.
