[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I have a disagreement over how much most adults eat. Partly it’s skewed by our heritage - I’m from large white American stock and she’s Asian, so right there we grew up with different expectations for meals.

But she claims the people in her downtown office eat small portions (which maybe true they are mostly much older like 60s, and I think appetite wanes), where my office skews younger (and less educated, [b]hers is full of lawyers[/b], mine are IT nerds). For lunch I see guys grabbing Chick-fil-A meal deal, which even I feel is a ton of food.

A good example — when we order pizza I say budget two slices per person, and she says one. [/quote]

I work in a law firm. Maybe her coworkers eat less for lunch because there is so much damn food in the office all the time! We have snacks (chips, candy, bars, nuts, etc.) available and out. Weekly donuts. Weekly appetizers one late afternoon per week. Monthly birthday celebrations with cake/treats. Special morale days with more treats. You get the idea. [/quote]
