    This is the kind of article that I always find fascinatingly American in nature. Not just in it’s content about obesity and meal size, but in how insanely blind it is to the literal entire rest of the world.

    It’s all written like smaller meal sizes are this crazy new thing when literally every tourist to the US is constantly talking about how insanely massive the portion sizes are everywhere.

      It’s also a fascinating bit of advertising wrapped up in revisionist marketing bullshit and that’s as American as Granny’s Apple Pie* ™ *not actually apple pie

          For more money*

          This shill op is to condition peasants to accept shrinkflation after they double the prices over last 4 years aka inflation

          Prices rarely go down and they ran them to the peak so now they reducing portion sizes

          Industry paid good money for that PR release.

              If they didn’t need propaganda, they would waste ton of money on it.

              Game 101

              Regimes leanred it works in early 20th century.

              Corpo’s been using PR slop since world war 2

              Advent of marketing corpos in 21st century, and their election meddling clearly shows it works.

                Your reasoning is circular though.

                You’re claiming that you know this is an industry paid article because it’s pushing the industry PR line about shrinkflation, and you know that they need to push the industry PR line because it’s a paid for article.
