portion size Options

[brooklyneast05]

do you think portion size reducing is a good way to fix some of our health issues? do you think it would have a big impact on how people eat? are you more likely to just eat/drink more than one of something if the portion is smaller? tell me how you feel about portion size.

for me reducing portion size would work. if something is smaller, i just eat less. like with these smaller cokes. i don't feel compelled to drink two of them, i just drink less in general because less is there.



cool topic i know. don't hate, going through my tumblr and thinking of shit to make topics about.

We need to reduce our dependence on processed foods if we want to correct any of our country's health issues. Encourage hunting for food, meats like Deer have a much lower fat content than their counterparts, say beef. Even wild boar has less fat than farm-raised pigs.

I don't think reducing portion size will help with most people. I'll continue to drink until I'm not thirsty, not until I'm out of cola.

I agree. Lean turkey and chicken, om nom nom.

i think it could work. i mean, a lot of people eat not just when they're hungry but because the food is in front of them. so if you reduce the food in front of them, they'll naturally eat less.

but it's probably not going to work on a large scale basis.

I watched an MTV documentary about a family whose children were overweight and started measuring out portions of food to eat at dinner, which did help in helping all of them eat more healthily and pay attention to how much food they actually needed to feel full while getting enough nutrition. But a lot of Americans are too lazy and/or busy to do that and would rather grab fast food or heap homemade food onto their plates, eat, and do whatever they need to do after dinner than using a measuring cup to serve food in recommended amounts.
