Did someone do a prospect theory take on this?

Trust me, you'd have to raise burgers, pizzas, kebabs, tacos etc etc all by about a factor of 5 to see any reduction in stoners driving around going "F*** im hungry".

Why am I smiling? Is it this new and useless information I have added to my brain - thank you, Tyler - or this hamburger I am eating, right now?

Wow. Sara Markowitz. She has become one of my favorite economists lately. She's got a great paper I heard last year at the SEA on the impact that anti-depressants had on suicide (I think it was anti-depressants, anyway; it was whatever the FDA had issued a warning on last year) that was really shocking (found a connection). And she's so prolific!
