Living The Good Life 1: 9” Plate
As kids many people were told that having “a clean plate was a happy plate”. It was a waste of food otherwise and it was probably one of the many strategies parents used to get kids to finish all of their vegetables. While this may have been a helpful tactic back then, it may also be one reason why people are overeating in their adulthood without even realizing it.
How do people eat too much without even realizing it? Besides possibly being hungrier as adults, portions sizes have unintentionally increased. One reason is because our dinner plates have mysteriously enlarged as the years have passed. The change isn’t as noticeable at first when it is just an inch or so. However, looking at the change over the last 50 years a 12-inch dinner plate is significantly larger than a 8.5-inch plate.
Take a look at the difference:
