What we eat matters. But how much we eat can matter even more.More than 60 percent of American adults are overweight. And when you think about how we eat, it's no wonder! Original Coke® came in a 7 — ounce bottle. Today, a large fast food Coke is 44 ounces and 500 calories. A typical restaurant plate 20 years ago was 10 inches. Today, it's 12. In one survey, 67% said they eat everything on their plates, no matter how big the plate is. At one popular Italian restaurant chain, one plate of spaghetti and meatballs is seven servings of grain, three servings of meat and more calories than most bodies need for an entire day. It’s a great idea to pay attention not only to what we're eating, but how much of it we eat! Posted : 08/06/2010
