Cooking up a Storm

Cooking good food is easy

The change in portion size

Posted on | May 17, 2008 |

Obesity has hit the US and UK hard - 24.5% of adults in the US and 22% in the UK are clinically obese.

Obvious contributing factors towards the increase in obesity will be the increase in home based entertainment (TV, video games, computers), decline of local community (can affect how often you leave the house), and better transport options (cars, buses etc de-courage us from walking to work/school).

However one thing we should look at is portion size - this is something we should be very wary of as it’s the one of the key factors you can control.

Divine Caroline has come up with a great insight which shows how our portion sizes have increased over the past few decades.
