Oversized Portions? Blame the Chef

By Tara Parker-Pope

Lede: Nutrition experts have long urged Americans to pay more attention to portion sizes. But someone forgot to tell the chef.

^^I like this; it catches attention.

I took interest in this article because I work at a small privately-owned business at home, and I know that the last thing on our chef's mind is calorie-counting. Business is more about taste and food-presentation. Portion size, schmortion size.

December is the busiest month at our restaurant and at restaurants across the country, so I'm sure that this article will be of interest to many who are looking forward to going out with friends during the holiday season--and who may be slightly concerned about packing on the infamous holiday-pounds.

But the key word here is 'holiday.' Does anyone really want to calorie-count during the holidays? This topic may be best left-alone. ;)
