'Desire for big things'
Eating whatever we�re served? The first reaction might be to blame Mom
and Dad for telling us to clean our plates.

But it�s not necessarily that simple. Among other things, we�re eating
away from home more often, now spending nearly half our food dollars
at restaurants and dining establishments, according to a USDA study.

That should be considered, Rolls said, in light of decades of many
major restaurants marketing food�s size -- not quality -- as a value
proposition. By comparison, European eaters tend to seek out smaller
portions and focus on quality over quantity.

At the same time, the United States continues to spend less per capita
on food than any other nation, USDA statistics show. And U.S.
restaurants tend to maximize the overall size or weight of meals,
often by using cheap, starchy staples.  By comparison, foods with less
fat and more nutrients are usually more expensive and in shorter
supply on menus.
