With over 35% of Americans falling into the “obese” category it’s unsurprising to hear that our portion sizes are completely bonkers – from restaurant entrees totaling at over 2,000 calories per meal, to fast food restaurants racing each other to see what other gluttonous concoction they can come up with next, the United States needs a wake-up call.
