Food Portions
By Ashley Perryman

A study funded by the FDA found that Americans eat nearly one third of all meals outside the home with burgers, fries and pizza leading the list of foods we eat.

But the study suggests it's not so much what we eat, but how big the portions are that creates weight problems. The government is urging restaurant managers to offer smaller portions and healthy side items to help curb the national trend toward obesity.
