As for ways the food industry could help,
Wansink conducted an experiment that people who
have stuffed themselves on potato chips might
appreciate.
He offered three different groups Lay’s Stax
potato chips, a product that boasts "The crispy
crunch will keep you coming back for more."
The first group received regular chips; the sec
ond got chips in which every seventh chip was red,
and the third were served chips in which every 14th
chip was red.
Without being told the reason for the red chips,
participants nonetheless used them as a guidepost
for how much to eat, Wansink said. The participants
who ate the least had the potato chips in which every
seventh chip was red, followed by the group in
which every 14th chip was red.
"With chips, we kind of eat until we feel sated,"
he said. "But what happens if in a very in-your-face
kind of way at the seventh chip there’s a divider
and you say, 'Hey, how many have I eaten?’ All of
the sudden, it’s an abrupt way to monitor how
much you ate."

a BEGINNING*
Why did he do it? Jesus, the Son of God. Why would he leave heaven to
endure the torture, pain, humiliation of the cross?
Jesus said he came only to do the will of the Father. He came in the Father's
name, for the Father’s glory, doing all things by the Father, speaking only what
the Father told him to speak. And that got him into trouble—with people.
His words and miracles greatly upset some people. So Jesus paid the price.
He was sentenced to die by crucifixion. But ultimately it was not the Romans
and Jews controlling Jesus' death. They were not making the ultimate decisions.
Jesus was never fully at their mercy.
This was Jesus, who healed the blind, even raised people back to life! One
was his friend, Lazarus, who had been buried in a tomb for four days! Following
that one, the authorities said, “ If we let him go on like this; the whole world will
be following him.” Indeed.
Jesus voluntarily gave up his life.
Why??
For us. To step in and take our place. To pay the harsh punishment for our
sins. Again, why? Because our sin was keeping us from him. He was willing to
do this, to remove the barrier—to offer us forgiveness.
" God demonstrates his own love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us," the Bible tells us.
What this means is that you can make a new beginning with God. He did this
for you, but his forgiveness is not yours until a relationship with God himself
belongs to you. And he is offering you that. Look at Jesus’ passion. Is there
any question how much he wants you to know him?
If you have questions about how to begin a relationship with God, please
