Coming from Europe & Asia, the amount of crap fed in America is just crazy: like "is that for ONE person?" (more like an entire table of 4) since what is considered "normal" is just beyond what my stomach can handle, whenever I see their portion sizes: it makes me puke. (No wonder why they have a higher rate of obesity...)

The anount of people I see wasting food from these giant plates is equal to the number that are obese and finish the whole plate. Both of those are higher by an order of magnitude vs the people who share a plate or bring leftovers home. Before we had kids, my wife and I could usually share a meal and still have leftovers.
