Why?!?!?!?!

Have you ever been eating chips, and then reached for something to dip them in, thinking, “This will make it healthier”? No? Me either, which makes this study even more silly . . . researchers at Penn State University have discovered a “disastrous link” between dips and caloric intake: Snackers consume 77% more calories when eating chips served with dip than just chips alone, without dip. Did we really need a study like this? It seems pretty obvious to me, but the researchers “assumed that adding dip to the snack would cause people to eat fewer chips.” And . . . they don’t (again, it seems obvious to me). The study also finds that people would eat the chips FASTER if there’s dip involved.
