Why are portion sizes in the US big? - Lemmy.World

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. I was watching a TV show where the host went to a restaurant where they were talking about a specific type of pizza but the size of that was intended to be for a single person (but presented a massive, family sized plate), closer to “party” size than for one individual.
