Unveiling the Madness of Our Modern Diet through a 1970s Eating Experiment

The modern diet is characterized by oversized portions, leading to weight gain and health issues. Portion sizes of many foods have increased significantly since the 1970s, and UK portions are following the trend of their US counterparts. The average person often underestimates recommended portion sizes and struggles with portion control due to confusion over food labeling and the availability of convenience foods. Restaurants and meal deals also contribute to larger portion sizes. Eating like it's the 1970s, with smaller portions and using smaller plates and glasses, can help control portion sizes and promote healthier eating habits.
