"PortionSizeInflation" news and stories

Portion size inflation, in easily digestable images

then and now movie popcorn buckets
We all know that portion sizes have increased over the course of the last few decades. Every so often, TV programs and newspapers run a picture of an original McDonald's hamburger next to today's Big Mac, to emphasis how much more we're eating. Today Divine Caroline ran a feature that shows a variety of foods as they used to be portioned. It's interesting to see how pizza slices have grown, as well as coffee, soda and even our plates and bowls. As I mentioned before, it probably won't be news to anyone, but it is interesting as it will get you to thinking about portion size and how much food you're putting on your dish (at least for the couple of hours after you read it).
