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.

Hildy,

I may or may not agree with you. But, I want to make the choice for my family, not having the Government pressuring me or telling me what types of food or what portions I can feed my family.

The issue of obesity is solely blamed on nutrition by our PC society. The truth is a number of factors (heredity, medical issues, side effects of certain drugs, mental issues, etc) contribute to one appearing obese. I am fortunate to be slim, but I don't appreciate those in our society who claim to be “open minded” so eager to express prejudice against anyone over weight.

Last time I checked, Tom and Virginia were my Parents, not Barack and Michelle.

Portions may be bigger, but the Parents of a Child decide what "portions" the Child is allowed to have. I certainly hope you are not saying that the Government should be in the allowable food portion business. I think the idiot Mayor of New York has that pretty well sewn up, at least until Michelle jets in with her Husband for a date. The Government has no business telling (blackmailing) a private company what it should or shouldn't do, and the spouse of the President certainly shouldn't have that kind of power.

I guess the Wife of Hugo Chavez might have some pull, but I live in America not a Banana Republic, unless Obama get reelected that is.
