Morning Starters: Spring 1 - Food for Thought
Did You Know?
Over the years, food portion sizes have increased, partly due to marketing and fast-food culture. Larger portions can lead to overeating, making it easier to gain weight and face health issues. Choosing sensible portion sizes is not only good for our health, but it is good for the planet. This is because food waste contributes to climate change, pollutes the environment and wastes resources.
