Food Portion Distortion

Increase your awareness of "food portion distortion." Over the past several decades, the size of food portions has exploded. What was a tiny bag of French fries is now a box, a small drink is now a large, and a large drink is now a bucket! Even triple-patty hamburgers are now available. The ill effects on health have always existed, but, in addition, what we think of as a "portion" has increased! To avoid the potential impact on your health, consider interventions such as using smaller plates, sharing food, ordering only the appetizer if the entree is huge, or simply asking for less.
