In the 80’s, corporate restaurants started offering enormous portions of food. Huge portions loaded with sugar and salt. Often times one would be served enough for three or four. Other chains followed suit, and now we eat like hogs. Mom didn’t feed us that way growing up. There weren’t as many fat people. I remember one or two tubbies as kids in school. It was the exception. Now they want to normalize obesity rather than reverse it. Another thing that didn’t help was the high carb government “food pyramid” that came into vogue back then.
Yep restaruants tend to have large portions.
Almost every time I eat out, I take leftovers home. The portions are much bigger than we would serve at home.
I wonder how many people in a restaurant, eat everything placed in front of them, vs. taking any home.
I wonder if some feel they should eat everything placed in front of them, and eat whether they are getting full or not.
