No mention of how more time and resources should be put in to educating children at an early age on the importance of good nutrition and regular exercise... But banning snacking on public transport should do it 👍🏼🙄

Pretty neat study: make people think they're hot (with a small electric heat pad on their back), and they'll slow down even though body temp, sweat rate, heart function etc. stay the same. Perception matters. https://t.co/filrHT4z1Z
