NYC Relentless in Obesity War. This Time: Portion Sizes

Posted: 18 Jan 2012 04:41 AM PST

We visited New York this week and were happy to see that at least one local government in this country is willing to face up to the big money that is junk food. The latest subway ad campaign is calling out a growing (pun intended) problem – the increase in portion sizes over the last few decades.

Here’s and example of how far we’ve come along (an we mean that in a bad way). Monster cookies being served at Starbucks and other snacking opportunities. (see more examples) Sure they’re tasty, but why 3 times the size of the USDA serving size?

What to do at the supermarket:

If you are eating real food yet still gaining weight, one of the things to take notice when at the supermarket is the serving size on the nutrition label. Many people look at the calorie count, and are happy to see low numbers. But what they don’t notice is that they are consuming twice or more than the stated serving size as an eating portion. Which means twice the calories, twice the fat and sodium, etc..
