  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Smaller Portions
    Fun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of eating smaller portions?

    Other benefits would be portion control. Eating what we can handle besides our eyes are bigger than our stomach! 

    Caloric intake and weight watchers would really reap this benefits!
