                                Studies have shown that blue can act as a natural appetite suppressant, which is why blue plates make you eat less. Our brains have evolved to avoid blue foods, as the color is rare in nature and often signals spoilage or poison. This subconscious association can lead to smaller portion sizes and reduced overall food intake.
