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...)

Increasingly, portion sizes are starting to come down a bit. The one-two punch of shrinkflation causing the restaurants to serve less, and the spread of GLP-1 drugs starting to help people eat less, are slowly whittling away the issue over time.
