Why we cite it

Provides a nuanced framework for how packaging transparency affects food consumption — not a simple "see food, eat more" but a two-mechanism model (salience vs. monitoring) where the net effect depends on food characteristics. This is a non-Wansink source for visibility effects on consumption, tested with actual measured intake in a realistic TV-watching environment.
