In fact, several recent studies show that portion sizes in fast -food restaurants are two to five times bigger than their original orig-inal 1950s counterparts.

"About one in four Utah children are overweight and nearly 10 percent of all Utah children . are classified as obese. If we don't turn the tide, we are in for a very unhealthy future. The good news is, by increasing our awareness aware-ness of portion sizes and levels of physical activity, we can change that future." fu-ture."
