It's not what the judge had for breakfast, it is when she had lunch

Here is an amusing article from the Economist that reports on a study from Israeli scholars that shows delectable evidence that Israeali parole board judges are more likely to be lenient immediately after a meal.  On the other hand, there is evidence that being slightly hungry sharpens the intellect.

I'm not sure whether to evaluate this evidence before or after dinner.
