The folks at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) have a couple of great slide shows comparing portion sizes of today and those from 20 years ago. Check it out!
Portion Distortion!
Do You Know How Food Portions Have Changed in 20 Years?
Anyone eating on the run or at restaurants has probably
noticed that food portions have gotten larger. Some portions are called
"super size," while others have simply grown in size and provide
enough food for at least two people. With this growth have come increases in
waistlines and body weight.
To see if you know how today's portions compare to the
portions available 20 years ago, quiz yourself on Portion Distortion I (2003)
and Portion Distortion II (2004). You will also learn about the amount of
physical activity required to burn off the extra calories provided by today's
portions.
