In the world of food it was a watershed moment for me in controlling my waistline when I stopped checking the unit price on items at the store.

The brain invents its own portion sizes that are more dependent on the size of the container than the total supply. I don't know how you introduce portion control to the Internet, but we definitely need it.

Some people have strategies for avoiding a shopping cart full of junk food. I wonder how far you can stretch that into media consumption before the analogy tears.

Interesting, I had the same thought about the size / price ratio recently. I want most bang for the buck but it kills my waistline
