The Brits have got it figured out .....
Plans to shrink the size of chocolate bars, crisp packets and other snacks were unveiled yesterday by the Government's food watchdog in a bid to tackle obesity in Britain.
The Food Standards Agency [FSA] wants manufacturers to make smaller portions more widely available. Currently, smaller packets of crisps and confectionery are usually restricted to supermarket multi-packs and come at a price premium, the agency said.
This is something that's concerned me for a long time ... have you noticed that as the standard serving size of cola has gone up ... the waist line of the average soul has gotten wider ??When I was a kid, you drank from a bottle, 280 ml. Then came cans, same size. Then the cans got bigger.. 341 ml. Now it's getting hard to buy a can ... 591 ml's occupy 80% minimum of rack space.
Am I on to something here ? This is not rocket science. Eat less, move more. That's how you do it. Simple.
