[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No! Don't say a thing! My god. [b]Clean your plate is a great path to obesity[/b] and if you suggest the smaller entree u will look cheap. It is once a year. Let it go.[/quote]

Hmmm, no, it's not. It's all the junk you eat. I ate actual food growing up, and was always reminded to clean my plate, both so as not to be wasteful and also out of politeness. I had my meals and didn't munch constantly like most people seem to do nowadays. At 47 years of age, I'm still a size 2. It's appalling to me to watch adults encourage their children to throw barely-touched proper food away because "well, they're just not hungry, and it's good that they assert that" only to turn around and feed them snacks and dessert when they eventually want to eat. Talk about obesity. [/quote]

[b]Do you know how much serving size has changed over the years? [/b] :shock: 
[b]PS - your size "2" isn't the same as a "2" from years ago. So you enjoy your vanity sizing[/b].[/quote]

New poster.  This is ridiculous.  Are you actually trying to tell her she's fat and that a Size 2, however vanity-sized, is big?[/quote]

Maybe I was too subtle. It's an EXAMPLE to show you that actually eating all that's in your plate won't make you fat. It's WHAT you eat.
Oh, and also, I assume fast food joints have indeed increased portion size in their menus (I wouldn't know, since I don't eat that food), but I doubt a classy restaurant such as the one where OP is gracious enough to take her grandchildren would "supersize" a lobster order. [/quote]
