As the report stated that the 'large fork, less consumed theory' is only applicable to restaurant setting, I believe that this is not an accurate measure of determining the amount of food that one may consume.
This could be an isolated incident, probably because the customer is in a hurry or simply have less appetite that day, thus resulting in him/ her consuming less food.
In addition, I also think that using a larger than normal fork would in fact force a person to chew more food at any one time. This is not advisable, especially for small children as they might have difficulty chewing such a large portion. The child may choke or if not properly chewed, it may cause indigestion.
I feel that controlling the amount of food that one consume lies largely on his self-discipline to eat smaller portions. I feel that using psychological ways to trick one's mind into eating lesser is an ineffective way as one may fall back to his old habits of the psychological means is removed.
