Housecall for Health: America’s Growing Portions

Obesity continues to rise in the United States, and the reason could be not what we eat but how much.

FOX’s Colleen Cappon reports in today’s “Housecall for Health”:

Americans are getting more obese, suffering from diabetes, and dying from heart attacks at a higher rate and it’s no coincidence.

The CDC has released a report showing the massive increase in food portions since the 1950′s.

Restaurant meals are four times larger and the average soda has gone from just seven ounces to 40 ounces.

Center experts hope the report will lead to more education about portion sizes.

Housecall for Health, I’m Colleen Cappon, FOX News Radio.
