Paying for More and Getting Less

Have you noticed manufactured food products (frozen, canned, and bagged) and restaurant chain menu items getting smaller but you are paying the same or more?
Next time you shop at your local store or visit your favorite restaurant, especially fast food you will see the difference.
A Chicago-based firm that found 62 percent of consumers believed that restaurant prices have increased in the past three months while 32 per cent said portion sizes have shrunk. 84 percent of respondents also said they noticed similar trends in grocery stores.
Manufacturers and restaurant chains are promoting this as a fight to helping our nationwide obesity, but reading between the lines and looking at economic factors from weather, commodity prices, and fuel charges it is obvious this is a way for companies to survive the new economy while raising the flag that this is to help America’s health crisis.
So if this is our coming future then doesn’t it make sense to bring real cooking back to the family kitchen? By purchasing unprocessed food and cooking it to make a meal you actually save money, can make more meals for less, eat healthier, create smaller portion sizes, and provide valuable teaching to your children, and yes, pave the way to a healthier generations of Americans.
