Size Matters

Keep us fat, happy and eventually we all die off from some dreaded disease leaving the wholefood, health conscious to inherit the earth. Really? Can you believe the FDA is reviving its 2005 plan to re-evaluate serving sizes per an Obama directive.

For nearly twenty years, their lax oversight has allowed soda companies to pawn off 2.5 servings in a 20-ounce bottle. Look they always knew consumers were not going to take a glass from the cabinet or purchase small papers cups and measure out the appropriate serving. Duh!

The last time I can remember anyone drinking eight ounces of soda was when I visited my grandmother in Clinton, Louisiana back in the 1960s; she drank from that cute little glass bottle; and you know what, even then she didn’t drink the entire bottle, nope, half now –  half later. Folks from that era knew about portion control.

Today we’re suffering from the second deadly sin and guess what? It’s going to take the government to save us from ourselves. Right.

Time will tell if the feds  see this through to fruition and it will be interesting to see if the fast food/restaurants and those all you can eat buffets jump on board. What’s your thought?
