Killer infographic from the CDC about the expansion in portion size from the 1950s to today. French fry sizes more than doubled. Burger sizes tripled. Soda sizes doubled THEN tripled.
This actually brought to mind another graphic, this one from Wired magazine a couple years back.
This shows the cost per calorie of items in the grocery store. Produce is the highest (2 cents per calorie) and beverages are the lowest (0.2 cents per calorie). Bread (0.2 cents per calorie) is also at the bottom, while meat (0.5 cents per calorie) is a bit higher.
Some of this has to do with urbanism. But we'll talk food deserts and nutrition later. Right now, I just want to admire when smart people translate hard information into beautiful bits of knowledge.
