What I talk about when I talk about too small or too big portions, how eating ultra-processed plant-based foods might be bad for longevity and the continued hope for 3D-foods.
Prices have increased. If restaurants reduce the portions and maintain the same prices they will lose a lot of business. I recently walked out of a smoothie bar because 1 smoothie cost $10.00. Certainly not something I can afford. This issue has a lot of layers. I'm glad you wrote about it! Such an interesting topic.
Hello Larissa, another great topic of food to think about! I also agree portion sizes are so big and my husband and I usually split whatever we order from a take-away or eating in restaurants. The other issue is the amount of wasted food. I do know of a non-profit here in Colorado called We Don’t Waste. They work with restaurants and food distributors to reduce hunger and food waste in the Denver metro area by recovering quality, unused food. Then they distribute it to other non-profits who get it to the consumer. I think this is brilliant. Just something I thought you might find interesting. Cheers!
