That is awesome, blue rice looks so good. I wonder if it has anything to do with visual cues, or if it is just in our DNA to not eat as much when you see blue.

Honestly, I don't see how BLUE food die changes anything. Actually, it seems a little... strange. But I suppose it works, so who am I to argue? I am curious why black doesn't work as well as blue.

it is odd finding out how our brain works in this situation our brain is very complex! i can't belive it is our instinct to avoid blue food!

Wow, that's really cool. Although, the blue rice was EXACTLY my favorite color, so that just makes it MORE appetizing. Also, the blue M&Ms are my favorites! But the person who wrote this was smart to point out that there are virtually no blue foods in nature, aside from blueberries!But now I'm going to either go out of my way to eat blue food or just notice any blue food that I come by.

Hmm... I like blue, I should be careful!! I thought it was interesting how blue could change your diet patterns. Maybe that is why there aren't as many blue M&Ms in a bag, though they taste the same as all the other colors. But that is my opinion. I'm pretty happy, because I am allergic to food dye, so I don't have to worry about artificial coloring. This article is just CREEPY!!!

Wow! who knew that people could be unapetized by the color of the food! I can understand why though. Our ancestors had to be aware of poisonous foods. Usually those foods would be colored black, red, purple, or blue. These colors were warning colors. Personally, I could eat something that was blue, but only if A.I made it, B. I tested it, or C. someone ate it before me. It was a bad idea to make blue M&M's because now adults are unapetized by it
