Portion Size
How much do you know about portion size? Unfortunately as a whole,our society has a somewhat distorted view of what an appropriateportion of food is these days. Many of us think that a serving ofpasta or meat is a lot larger than it actually is.

How did this happen? In part the restaurant industry is to blame.To satisfy their customers, they've created larger and largerportions and over time we have come to believe that we should beeating this much at every meal. This lack of portion control, andloading our plates up with our favorite foods is part of the reasonwhy we struggle with obesity.

It is time to reeducate ourselves on what portion size and portioncontrol.http://www.menuplanningcentral.com/articles/portion-control.html
