Americans Now Want Smaller Food Portions

America is famous for its oversized portions, but that might be changing.

More people and restaurants across the country are now embracing smaller meals as part of a shift toward healthier eating. Studies show this trend is partly due to the rise of weight-loss medications, which are causing people to have smaller appetites. Consumers are also realizing that you don’t need to have uneaten food on the plate to feel like you’ve gotten good value when eating out. The food industry is taking note, offering menu items with smaller portions at lower prices.
