Why does the Cult of Climastrology always have to mind Everyone Else’s business?
Restaurant Portions Are About to Get Smaller. Are Americans Ready?
Portion sizes in American restaurants shot up in the 1980s and never came down. The average serving of spaghetti and meatballs doubled. Bagels ballooned into six-inch-wide monstrosities. Burritos started to weigh more than a Harry Potter hardcover.
Nutritionists and policymakers haven’t had much success fighting portion creep, which has been linked to health problems associated with obesity. Attempts to legislate soda sizes were shot down. Calorie counts on menus have largely gone ignored and might even be harmful. Even celebrity-dusted public health campaigns from the White House didn’t move the needle much.
But today, a combo plate of economics, demographics and climate science may accomplish what years of official hand-wringing could not: loosening the grip that super-size restaurant portions have on the national diet.
For the most part, the article has nothing to do with Hotcoldwetdry, but, it’s incumbent on all NY Times writers to include something on the climate scam in most articles. But, most Warmists are Leftists, and most Leftists are happy to force Other People to do stuff, instead of just leaving them alone to live their lives.
