User Post: Portion explosion! - Healthy Living on Shine
I found an interesting article that goes into details about just how much portions in meals and foods have gone to such excessiveness over the span of 20 years.
I really can't remember the last time I had a meal that didn't to go along with the portion bloat theme. It doesn't help that restaurants make it more economical to purchase large meals for a smaller price.
The last restaurant I went to had the most outlandish portions that I've seen yet. Before I even got to the restaurant, it was recommended that I get a to-go box for my salad. The meal that I ordered was a dozen fried shrimp that appeared to have been fed a daily diet of steroids, also, it came with soup, salad, a massive baked potato loaded with bacon and cheese. Each course seemed like a dinner to me...
Anyone else seeing portion bloat going to an extreme? Do any of our international members see this in their country?
