The death of portion size

I think it’s time we waved the white flag on our recommended daily intake of anything. Instead, we should simply adopt a system of family-style eating, whether you’re dining alone or with a family.

Carl’s Jr. is ready to accept our surrender: The chain is test-marketing a footlong cheeseburger. The 12-inch sub-slash-burger goes for $4 and has been picked up and extensively photographed by Food Beast. Sorry, hot dog, you can no longer claim the foot-long distinction as your own.
