Portion Distortion Quiz

Tuesday November 30, 2004
When you're rushing to get to work in the morning, do you reach for a grande mocha coffee and a large muffin? Anyone eating on the run or at restaurants has probably noticed that food portions have gotten larger. Some portions are called "super size," while others have simply grown in size and provide enough food for at least two people. With this growth have come increases in waistlines and body weight. To see if you know how today's portions compare to the portions available 20 years ago, quiz yourself on NIH's Portion Distortion quiz.
