Holy Portions!

Do you ever think that Americans are the most obese throughout the whole world? I’ve heard that we eat too many unhealthy things and we should definitely watch our proportions and how much we eat, but I never knew how bad it really was. Remember when McDonald’s used to serve those really small hamburgers? Well, they still do, but now places have almost tripled the sizes of burgers. Bagels used to be three inches in diameter and now they’re six!

Why is everything doubling. Are we eating that much more because they are doubling and tripling in size or are they making them bigger sizes because we’re eating more? It’s something to think about. Even healthy foods like a turkey sandwich has changed in the past 20 years. It used to be 320 calories and now a 10-inch sandwich has 820 calories. Where did we go wrong? Is this wrong or should we have been having these proportions all along? If America is always complaining about how obese everyone is and why we can’t lose weight maybe everyone should check out this article. It says that we should eat healthy most of the time, but we’re allowed to splurge every once in a while. Check it out!
