SUPERSIZE ME!!!

Its not just in the restaurants anymore!!

Take a Joy of Cooking from the '50s look up the recipe and see how many serving it has. Take the latest edition of Joy of Cooking and look up the same recipe. It now serves 4 instead of 6 or 8 from the older edition. Ingredient size hasn't changed just the serving size. that's what I read recently.

My personal experience. I have a Betty Crocker Cookie book from 1962?? Brownie recipe says it'll make 40 pieces. Fat chance. It only makes about a dozen. And their chaux pastry, it says it will make about 30 cream puffs. I'm lucky to get a dozen.

As for restaurants. We take our tupper ware with us. eat what we want and rest goes into our tupper ware for later. We normally can get 2-1/2 meals out of single serving. We noticed when we ask for doggie bag it, the restaurant will throw away about a half so they can put it into a smaller container. (containers cost the restaurant anywhere from 20 cents to 60 cents) We paid for it, WE GONNA TAKE IT HOME!!! BE ECO-FRIENDLY WE SAY!!! Who cares if others think we are crazy. If we all do it, it becomes the norm. Take your tupper ware and bring it home!!
