portions is the answer. I remember when i was a kid, we had 1 set of plates that would fit a full serving nicely and you'd be full. last year, we bought some new plates at costco and they wouldn't even fit in my dishwasher. that's about 2-3 inch more in diameter than the current ones i have which are even bigger than the ones i had when i was a kid. so in the last 20 years, i think portions have really gone up!

and by that, i mean, if you fill the plate everytime, you'll get used to that portion just like if a can of pop is 300ml, and then they bring it up to 400, you'll get used to that too. they can't keep making them bigger!

Costco and large size store like that aren't helping either!

oh and internet too. that kills all after school and weekend activity most kids had.
