Happy Meals rule!

It's true that so many "kids meals" are actually appropriate adult portions. In fact, 30 years ago, those were considered normal adult portions.

Just furthers my argument that increased "regular" portions have largely contributed to today's weight epidemic.

People didn't drink 32 ounces or more of soda at one time. They also didn't chow down on ginormous things of fries, or giant burgers like quarter-pounders, which wasn't even added to McD's menu until 1973.
