The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released an infographic detailing the astounding growth in the size of your restaurant hamburger, fries, and soda since the 1950s. If you are looking to control your portion size, the CDC recommends seeking out the smallest option on the menu, splitting a meal, or taking leftovers with you. They also ask you to make your feelings known about portion size to restaurant management. You can even take a quiz to test your knowledge of growing portion sizes and growing waistlines in the United States.
So do you think restaurants need to stop offering huge portions or is this an issue of personal responsibility?
