Stuff-Your-Face-O-Meter

It seems like a diet of fish-n-chips doused in mayonnaise followed by pints of heavy stouts might not be so good for you after all (very surprising). So now the English health care system is forced to turn to elaborate responses to the country's growing waistline. The latest answer comes from a new study at the University of Bristol where overweight teenagers eat their meals off of a plate connected to a computer, weirdly named a "Mandometer", which records the amount the eater consumes. The hefty teenage eaters are shown the optimal munching rate, which they should attempt to match, and they also use a "Satiety Meter" through which they can rate their fullness feelings. Members of the study are also given a portable Mandometer to use while eating out,
which we're sure is exactly what an overweight self conscious teenager would like to display at their local eatery.
