Supersize Diet

I read this today, and I totally noticed the difference that this article explains when I lived in Austria.

Taken from Outside Magazine (Dec 2003):
Paul Rozin, a University of Pennsylvania psychology professor who specializes in why people choose the foods they eat, recently took a big step toward explaining why only 7.4 percent of the French are obese - despite a diet rich in cheeses, pastries, and other high-fat foods - while 22.3 percent of Americans are un-healthily rotund. His research comparing portion sizes served up in Philadelphia and Paris revealed that the French eat smaller portions than supersize-obsessed Americans. Here's a sampling of what he found:
Regular Fries at McDonald's         72% larger in U.S.
A Pizza Hut Pizza                       32% larger in U.S.
Average Chocolate Bar                41% larger in U.S.
Average Coca-Cola                      52% larger in U.S.
Average Hot Dog                         63% larger in U.S.
Average Serving of Ice Cream       24% larger in U.S.
