Sneaky Servings: Beware of Portion Sizes

Next time you get ready to chow down on your mid-afternoon meal, take note of the nutrition label...are the manufacturers trying to pull a fast one? Chances are, the answer is a resounding 'YES!'.  Tricks are played on the less-observant eye, misleading you to think that you're eating one serving when, in fact, you're consuming AT LEAST two. 

When was the last time you ate only a portion of a packaged snack...or a half of a micro-waved pizza..or a third of a bottle of your preferred beverage??? Be aware that your moderate intake of calories, fat and sugar has suddenly doubled...and completely destroyed your noble attempts of healthy eating.

Boo-ness to that and to the mean food manufacturers who meddle and game.
