I see nothing wrong with reducing portions. Our kids think these huge portions are normal, and they are not. A healthy life requires portion control..we eat something like 35% more than we did in the 1960’s. That’s a lot of food and that’s why so many people are so damn fat.

Agreed, but who determines the sz of the portions, the individual or the gov't?

I don't particularly care to see women clad in sweatpants unless they are in a gym or en route to or from one. This doesn't mean I'd support legislation or a law that forbade women to dress like uncouth hillbillies.

That's not how I remember the sixties. Everything was bigger, better, and tastier back then...even more so in the fifties probably. Personally, I think all this talk of "portions" is complete and utter nonsense. Aside from the small population that's probably genetically predisposed, the reason we have so many fat kids is because of laziness. I don't even think kids do chores anymore like cut the grass. Back in my day I had to use one of those old fashioned push mowers. Big, bulky and heavy. Try pushing one of those when it's been sitting out in the rain for a week.

Anyway, the thing that really pisses me off is that you can't get a decent potato chip anymore. "Royal Feast," "Granite State," crispy, greasy and golden brown. Ah, those were the days. Damn food nazi's all....
