This is actually really interesting. My mom did this experiement on my siblings and I with cookies when we were kids. No idea why I remember it.

I was the fat kid of all of us. I remember my mom laughing that I obviously had the hardest time not eating the cookie.

As teens I was still the fattest but had better grades and higher test scores, though we all did well, and was the only one who didn't use any substances and now I think I may be the only one without even a mild substance abuse problem. As adults, we're all thin, healthy eaters and gym rats. (I'm 5'7" 130-135 just to clarify). But we all have severe anxiety issues. Only one sibling makes less money that I do, but she has a higher degree and in the long run will surpass me income wise I'm sure.
