Here's a new trick that the scientists at Cornell University just published.  It's way to trick people into eating less pizza.  There are just two steps:

1.  Put the pizza on the biggest table you can find.

2.  Cut it into sixteen slices, not eight or 12.

The study found that when pizza was on a big table and had small slices, it tricked people's brains into thinking the slices weren't that small.  So they took a more reasonable portion.

But the opposite happened when a pizza was on a small table.  Again, you cut it into small slices.  But on the small table, people perceived that pizza as being smaller and the slices as being tiny, so they ate a lot more than normal.
