Transcript:
Cathy (reading magazine): People are doomed to be obese because portion sizes are huge. Sandwiches are huge. Muffins are huge. Salads are huge. Cups are huge. Plates and bowls are huge. Even "smalls" are huge. No one will ever lose an ounce in a world where people expect bigger and bigger portions. Cathy: I NEED A MUCH LARGER HUG!!

maybe you need to grow to the size of a giant. Then you’ll be complaining about everything being too small.

I haven’t left a restaurant in years without a doggy bag full of the next two meals. Except for the fast food joints of course. Kids meals are just about perfect.

Using smaller containers is actually an old diet tip. Another one was to ask for a take out container when they serve you your meal at a restaurant, and put half of the food into it before you start. Then you won’t overeat.

I would prefer choices. Sometimes meals are nice to have in a large portion. For example, when we get Thai, I love having leftovers for lunch the next day. But if I want a dessert, I prefer a smaller piece of cake. I would also prefer if clothing sizes were the same everywhere. I dislike vanity sizing.
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Friday! Have a great day, all!

I did not understand the complaints about portion sizes until we started travelling into the States. Then I understood. A couple we spend time with after our annual conference in Phoenix usually order one meal and split it. Just wished my wife and I liked the same foods so we could do that. Actually we did try that once with a roast beef order at the Keg – even with half the meal each neither one of us could finish our plate. Yup, portion sizes are frequently WAY to big.
Time to gear up for a great weekend!

My husband and I usually split a meal when we go out and we often take home enough for another day…agree, hendelca, portions are ridiculous in the US.

Bigger is better? Apparently, not in all cases …
