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?

I have tried to slow down my eating so that a smaller plate will not seem SMALL. I like to eat! I think there would be less waste eating smaller portions, getting full and not throwing away food (although i'm big on leftovers and save most).
