Cornell Researchers studied secretaries who won an award and were given all the candy you can eat for a month.  The candy was put on their desks in a clear bowl.  A typical secretary ate 9 Hersheys Kisses a day...which is about 225 calories.  But if the bowl was moved to 6 feet away from the desk, the secretary ate only 4 candies a day......125 fewer calories each day. Why the big difference?  The secretaries told researchers the 6 feet distance gave them pause to ask if they really needed to eat the candy or not.
