I’m sure plenty of you have been to the site thisiswhyyourefat.com. Some of those creations are just mind blowing…and definitely artery clogging.

But it’s not just these disgusting gastronomical atrocities that make us fat. Some of it is due to the wonderful people that make our food. It’s actually the OPPOSITE of what usually happens. Everything these days are getting shrunk down while staying the same price; I’m used to getting less for the same price every year.

Granted, given that I prefer to eat in and make my own food from scratch than anything prepackaged, my own waist size isn’t increasing as rapidly as say, your average American.

I also wanted to mention something Morgan Spurlock said in “Supersize Me”, he also did a bit of research on portion size. Today’s largest size of fountain drinks at the theatre are so big they don’t fit in your average cupholder in the car. Actually, they’re so big, I have to use both hands to hold one. And I’ve always shared one of these, how does someone even finish a pop this big in the span of 2 hours?

Check out the “then and now” of portion sizes.
