&gt; In the study, 76 college students were deprived of food for three hours and deprived of their smartphones for two hours while they studied. They were then allowed to use a computerized game, which was similar to a slot machine, to earn time to use their smartphones or 100-calorie portions of snack food.<p>No food for 3 hours isn&#x27;t &quot;deprivation&quot;, it&#x27;s a normal school day.

Nothing unethical about that experiment...
