REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Smaller PortionsWhile dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come from eating/serving smaller portions?
Brooklynn Myers (103) 10/08/2024 8:16 AMEating/serving smaller plates causes people to eat less/eat only what they need (the serving size). This is beneficial to patients overall health and helps them get only the nutrients they need. -
