Not to do with serving sizes as listed on boxes, but I believe the amount of food that regularly winds up on a plate in the US is more than what we get elsewhere - especially at home. Or so I've been told.
- batiudrami 10y agoDefinitely true - it took me a while to realise that nobody expects you to eat an entire meal in the US - it's there to ensure you go hungry. In Australia, going out to dinner usually means two or three of an entreee (starter), main and dessert. Fast food portions are huge though - in the US my girlfriend and I would get a burger each and share a small chips and drink.
- vertex-four 10y agoIn the UK, when I go out to eat food, I'll occasionally have a starter before my main, and nearly always end up stuffed. It's a lot more food than what we eat at home.
