That's the logical progression of allowing government to tell adults what they can't put in their bodies. The only thing left is for them to decide what we MUST.
Expect portion-limiting legislation in the near future.

If they refused to serve me what I ordered they will go out of business very quickly

Great, FDA issues report about restaurant portions; the Trial Lawyers now have the chum they need to start a class action lawsuit feeding frenzy.

The study is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Adults do not need the government to control what they eat ...time for the FDA to cut the PORK!! I would love to see them go on a LEANER budget with our tax money.

Congre$$ will be exempt,. of course. ;-)

Most restaurant serving sizes in America are at least 1.5 to 2x the servings I see in canada or here in NZ. Quite a lot of food actually.
You may find this news article interesting CC, as you point on America food being excessive in size the otehr day. ;-)

'ol Mom and I have gone to ordering one meal for us both....usually is just about right. Sometimes a resturant will charge an extra dollar for an extra plate, but only a few.

My wife and I noted that portions in NM are huge, and so are the folks - to each his own.

Guess the FDA never heard of nouvelle cuisine where you get just a dab of this and a dab of that and a drizzle of something meaningful served on a very large plate with one green onion for decoration. Nouvelle cuisine is when you better have a sandwich in your car so you don't faint from hunger [and the cost of your minimalist meal]!LOL!
Properly defined, nouvelle cuisine is:
eclectic style in international haute cuisine developed during the 1960s and '70s that stressed freshness, lightness, and clarity of flavour. In reaction to some of the richer and more calorie-laden extravagances of classic French haute cuisine, nouvelle cuisine sought to emphasize the natural flavours, textures, and colours of foodstuffs. Acknowledging the unhealthiness of a diet heavy in fats, sugars, refined starches, and salt, it minimized the use of these ingredients. Nouvelle cuisine was also influenced by the Japanese style of food presentation.
Could it be that the FDA hangs out in "restaurants" where they ask if you wanna sooper size it? LOL!

A restaurant which bases its menu on what the FDA wants instead of what their customers want will be an out of business restaurant very soon.

Simple, you cut my portions, I'll cut my visits.
The FDA may have a weight problem, but I don't. If the FDA cut some of the Pork out of their diet, maybe they'd be forced to do something constructive.
Oh wait, they can't do anything constructive. Let's cut THEM from OUR diet!
