Why Supersize is bad for you

A delicious & healthy snack well-proportioned!

We Americans have gotten used to big things a little bit too much. So much so that it's affecting our waistlines!  We go out to eat, we are served from large containers. We receive large servings and we almost, always, sit down and eat it all by ourselves!

We have come to expect everything to be served in large sizes; and even question when it is not.  Over the years all these large-sized servings have ended up on parts of our bodies that we don't want to get larger.  However since the economical down-turn; and manufacturers tricking us into believing that we still have the same food, albeit in smaller containers; and people cutting back because of their financial status; we don't eat as much as we used to and that my dear readers is a good thing because we now know that supersized food is bad for us; and we are eating smarter! Even when we do receive super-size portions, we share!

Gone are the jokes by our comedians, and even those comedians overseas, at our expense!  We are working out more because being in bad health has scared us into watching what we eat, and even into eating less which has actually been very good for us!

I've gotten into the habit of buying healthier snacks for my children, (and me) to eat.   What is it about us why we love to snack so much? That in itself is a whole other article!  Even the snack portions are now for a single serving!  Yes, we needed to be reminded that we were eating for two, sometimes three people without even being pregnant!  So these days, you'll see containers that are much smaller, and we don't feel bad about it!  However, there's one thing I must say, I still want to see a good affordable price on those proportioned items, especially when I'm buying for a family of four (and sometimes six)!
