Optical illusions that make you fatter and your wallet lighter

One of my best friends, a long time ago, told me that the key to food portion sizes was this - "Eat from small plates, drink from taller glasses." It's a piece of advice I had forgotten, especially after moving to the US where portion sizes seem to have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. But in a book I'm currently reading called "Mindless Eating" this advice about container sizes is validated by Dr. Brian Wansink, Ph.D, a man who clearly knows his stuff. And optical illusions are at the root of it all.
