    I'm not so sure about that. I'm convinced that there are lots of people who don't do much reading anymore at all, and they probably think 3000 calories is just what a typical/normal meal is.....they have no concept of what a 3000 calorie for the whole day concept is.
    Yeah people have gotten used to gargantuan serving sizes- they see them as normal now, thanks to the food industry.
    I see little 7 year old kids in restaurants with quart sized sodas, and then their parents nagging them that they are not eating their 6 little grease-laden 'chicken' nuggets. Always followed up by huge pieces of cake or sundaes....
    Half of all this so-called "food" winds up in the garbage, so much fat and breading that the body can't even force it down. GROSS.
