American servings are HUGE... lol

They are like 1.5x Canadian, and 100000000x Japanese.

Agreed


Also the quality of the food here is horrid compared to other places.(as far as my wife the nutrition expert tells me.)

Actually, Mickey D's is still pretty cheap, 3 burgers + 1 drink + 1 fries = a little over $5.00 CAD. Burger King has their Daily Value Meals which is a decent size burger, fries, and a drink for $5.00 CAD. Cheap and fast

It really depends...some places serve "American" portions...gigantic-ass mountains of food...while other ones really do shrink their portions.

I don't eat out at sit-down restaurants that often, but I haven't noticed a difference.

This.

I could barely eat down half a plate of the regular servings over in Boston. I swear, if they halved their servings, they could solve the world's food problems. >.>

Yea, I've noticed this too, many places are giving less food than they used to. Although with usually less people at each restaurant the food quality has become better because the chefs have more time to spend on each dish.
I always notice those two things at most restaurants I have been to lately.

Moxie's, Outback, and other restaurants (in T.O). were raising their prices pretty rapidly in the last two years or so, but perhaps with the recession, now they're cutting sizes instead. I've actually given up going to these franchise family restaurants due to what I saw as unjustified price increases, and eating out a lot more Chinese.

The worst in England is Pizza Express. More expensive, worse quality AND small pizzas for bigger price. All because they got famous, for having good prices, good quality AND good size ¬¬.

Either you eat something cheap so you can get a lot of it [in n out, chipotle, etcaetera]

or you eat at an incredibly upscale 150/ea prix fixe type place.

Anything in between is really pointless imo as you can just make your own food and have it be just as good and probably healthier + cheaper. ._.

It's inevitable, the price levels just gonna keep increasing.


yes. but to understand inflation.. you should not fear rising prices, for this is just a symptom of the root issue which is the fact that dollars are losing value. so what $1 could buy now takes $2.

inflation pretty much is it.

but it is true that americans get wayyyy too much food compared to what we should be getting.

thats why i stopped eating out/ eat only 1/2 of the food given.

that's dumb. you're missing out on a lot if you only eat fast food and the high end stuff.
