Between the mid 1970's and late 1990's, Americans increased their consumption of salty snacks like chips, pretzels and popcorn by an average of 80 calories a sitting. Dessert intake at home went up by an average of 22 calories a sitting, while calories from home-eaten hamburgers and cheeseburgers rose by roughly 150 to 200. Why the shift? It appears people are learning what a portion size is from fast food chains and other places, where it is well known that meals have been getting larger and larger over the decades.
