REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Smaller PortionsFun 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?
Alan Raitt 4/24/2019 12:42 PMWhen you use a smaller plate when you eat, you don't overeat. Overeating is very bad for your health.
