We have a huge issue with portion sizes here. Americans want more for their dollar. There's also this thing that parents did in my generation.. you can't get up from the table until you finish what's on your plate.. they call this the empty plate syndrome.The first time I visited New York, my host took me to a restaurant for large(in weight) people. I saw families, all large having ginormous meals.
I was with 2 other people and we ordered one horderve(sp?) between us and were well-filled.
Anyway, it was education![]()
Another thing that bothers me is food is a reward or all special occasions involve food.. usually high calorie or fattening foods.
It's Hors d'oeuvres
