"don't go grocery shopping when hungry" doesn't work for me because Not Hungry Me cannot conceive of a universe in which food is needed so she buys like a cup of pomegranate seeds and some fancy cheese and thinks that'll get us through the week.
FUN FACT the scientist who said that made it the fuck up! he's also the same dude who said that if kids made eye contact with the character on food boxes they wanted it more. so now all the cereal mascots/kids mascots look downwards to a child height. but THEY MADE IT UP and it's allllllll bullshit and bad science to the point cornell deleted the fuckin cereal eyes study from the face of the earth and modern research is saying you SHOULD shop when ur hungry because it makes you put more value on food that would give you more nutrition and actually sharpens your ability to feed yourself well
So I think the cereal box guy was Brian Wansink and honestly that tracks. If Wansink thinks we should be grocery shopping when full then we should definitely be doing it when hungry. Bruh is an absolute joke.
THAT'S THE BASTARD
IT'S HIM
imagine being so bad at science that your university forces you to stop
things he also came up with that are BULLSHIT:
- eating around fat people makes you eat more junk food??? (wtf?)
- portion sizes affecting how hungry you feel
- "if you are served second portions you are more likely to take seconds"
- the entire concept of mini and fun-sized portion sizes (based in fatphobia btw!)
- the idea of boredom eating and stress eating being bad for you and not normal
- the idea of eating in front of a screen being terrible for your digestion
- that julia child's cooking was trying to make you fat (based on 18 of 4500 recipes...)
- the idea of western food being unhealthy
- the cereal eyes thing
- the shopping while hungry thing
- and much much more!
also he committed kickstarter fraud in 2018 and is a massive fatphobe who thinks fat people recruit others to become fat by just existing. fuck him lmao
Here's a few articles by Stephanie M. Lee about Wansink's multiple p-hacking scandals. Initially I just found these looking for more information but now I'm also extremely amused by how much she was on this guy's ass for his shitty science.

values), incorrect and inappropriate statistical analyses, and "p- hacking". [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] As of 2020 Wansink has had 18 of his research papers retracted (one twice). Seven other papers have received an expression of concern, and 15 others have been corrected.
