I haven't eaten hamburgers in a while. I just had a double-double at In-N-Out. It sure seems that it has shrunk in diameter from years ago the last time I had one. Not exactly a little White Castle burger with the deli-shaved wafer of hamburger on it. But the In-N-Out double-double seems awfully light in weight from before. I could be mistaken however ?
the cost of beef is up 21% over the last year. Restaurants don't want to raise prices by that much so they are cutting the portions instead.
Obama should terminate welfare payments to farmers and let the free market decide meat and veggy prices.
does it look anything like this?
isn't there a website that tracks the portion sizes of retail foods and warns consumers when they sneak in a smaller sized item ?
One product-size-reduction tracker is The Consumerist, the hip, snarky offshoot of Consumer Reports. Here's an example:
