Who hasn't tried to become healthier, especially with the goal of shedding a couple pounds? And let's face it, diets can be torturous. Still, you can convince yourself that eating healthy is the "right thing to do" and continue on dieting/exercising. If that stops working, however, you always have the following option -- that might look more similar to something you would find from a torture chamber.
An anti-eating face mask which includes a cup-shaped member conforming to the shape of the mouth and chin area of the user, together with a hoop member and straps detachably engageable with a user's head for mounting the cup-shaped member in overlying relationship with the user's mouth and chin area under the nose thereby preventing the ingestion of food by the user.
- It comprises a screen formed of a plurality of wires, said wires in said screen defining said openings there between.
Analysis on PRIOR ART::
I am not sure how "new and innovative" this patent is. It is basically a face mask, which already exists and I am sure there are face masks that only use wires (possibly part of some torture chamber?). The only unique part of this invention is its intention, to force someone not to eat... I think the author knows this and emphasizes on this intention - the authors discusses how this patent would be a wonderful (let's disregard humane) way to fight obesity in America! Moreover, housewives wearing anti-eating face masks will be able to resist slipping in a few bites of the food they cook. Hmm, not so sure how I feel about the Real Housewives of Berkeley wearing these masks.
This patent focuses more on intentionality than the actual product because well, the product itself is really basic and it would be pretty silly to talk about how to make a mask since the common man probably knows how a mask it most likely made.
And with that, let's all go back to eating chocolate cake, mask-less. 
The face mask really is silly! I like that you explained exactly how it works
