In the absence of something useful to debate, I dug deep in the query database and came up with an ultimate mind twister I have yet to be able to figure out:

Off course.

When you eat every 2 hours like most Thai ladies I have met, then maybe you only need a small plate

Economics?

You eat in my restaurant I give you a small plate, you eat less, I make more money?

Farang eat too much anyway....
